One of the requirements of the Doctor of Philosophy (Clinical Psychology) degree is the completion of an appropriate program of empirical research supervised by a panel of at least three supervisors including a member of staff of the Department of Psychology as a supervisor and a member of the Clinical faculty in the role of an advisor at least. This program of research will lead to the submission and examination of a substantial thesis. Students begin work on this research from the beginning of the first year of the program and are expected to submit the thesis by the end date of their enrolment in the degree. The Doctor of Philosophy (Clinical Psychology) thesis is intended to be similar in size and scope to a research only PhD thesis in psychology.
