The MSc-SLP/PhD Combined Program (Rehabilitation Medicine) [Graduate]

The Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine and the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders offer a program of combined study which permits highly qualified students to earn both the MSc in Speech-Language Pathology and the PhD in Rehabilitation Sciences after five years of full-time study.

Refer to The MSc-SLP/PhD Combined Program  under Communication Sciences and Disorders for program details.

The minimum period of residence is the equivalent of two academic years of full-time attendance at the University of Alberta. No language other than English is required for the degree.

Length of Program

The time required to complete the PhD program will vary according to the previous training of the applicant and the nature of the research undertaken. In general, the PhD program will take a minimum of three years to complete, with the first 1.5 years devoted largely to coursework, preliminary research endeavours, and preparation for the candidacy examination which normally will be held within two years of a student’s entry into the doctoral program.
