Tuition for graduate students is among the lowest in Canada, for both Canadian and international students (for full details, please consult the School of Graduate Studies).

For example, the M.Sc. degree in Experimental Psychology is typically a 2 year program, with tuition of $3717 per year ($1239 per semester) for Canadians and permanent residents, and $4833 per year ($1611 per semester) for international students.

For the Ph.D. degree in Experimental Psychology, tuition is $3462 per year ($1154 per semester) for Canadians and permanent residents, and $4497 per year ($1499 per semester) for international students.

Graduate students in the Department of Psychology can be supported with funds from a variety of sources. Actual funding depends on a variety of factors; prospective students should check with their potential supervisor and the graduate officer for details.

Memorial University offers competitive funding packages to academically eligible full-time graduate students, both Canadian and international, in eligible programs. Select PhD students will also automatically be considered for the School of Graduate Studies Dean's Doctoral Award, through a competitive process. The award is an additional funding incentive amount of $5000 per year for up to four years, which is separate from additional Fellowships, TA's and supervisor grant stipends.

 

Funding for Experimental Psychology

The following provides a typical example of funding for a student in the experimental psychology program:

School of Graduate Studies Fellowship: $6500 per year (Masters), $11,000 (Doctoral)
Graduate Assistantship (serving as a TA): $3999 per year
Supervisors with grants (e.g., NSERC funding) can supplement these sources of funding by as much as $5000 to $10,000.

Funding for Masters in Applied Psychological Science (MAPS)

The following is a typical example of funding for a student in the MAPS program:
School of Graduate Studies Fellowship: $6500 per year
Graduate Assistantship (serving as a TA): $3999 per year
Work term income: $7000-9000 per year

PsyD Funding

Students in the PsyD program pay the same tuition as students in the PhD program in experimental psychology, and will typically receive the same funding package.

Other Sources of Funding

Many of our students are successful in applying for NSERC or SSHRC Doctoral and Masters fellowships.
