The Department of Psychiatry offers a supportive and academically rigorous environment for graduate-level learners. Our research-based MSc and PhD programs provide advanced training in the basic and applied sciences relevant to psychiatry. While clinical training is not part of the program, students from diverse backgrounds—including neuroscience, psychology, and medicine—gain valuable research experience in a flexible full-time or part-time format.
