The Culture and Human Development program seeks to understand developmental processes in cultural context and across the lifespan. It is built upon interdisciplinary research and training with primary strengths in developmental, social, and clinical psychology as well as cultural and medical anthropology. Designed for students who wish to focus primarily on basic research and theoretical issues leading to scientist's positions for basic psychological research in university, hospital, community, industry, or government settings. This program offers two areas of specialization: Behavioural Neuroscience and Cognitive Science. Typically, students enrol in the Masters program for one year and then transfer to the PhD.
