Forms and guides

To apply for a PhD in Psychology, you must first identify a faculty member in Psychology who will serve as your primary supervisor. This must be done before you apply. To find a suitable faculty member, you may inquire with potential supervisors directly, by email. To determine who to contact, explore the School of Psychology's many research areas, each of which have associated faculty members. After identifying potential supervisors you are interested in working with, contact them to provide an account of your own experience and capabilities, and to enquire about potential projects that they may be interested in and able to support.

Once you have confirmed the support of a supervisor, then proceed to submit an Application for Admission. Please do not submit a PhD application without the support of a supervisor. As part of the application process, you will need to prepare a Statement of Research Intent, and your supervisor will need to prepare a Supervisor Statement. These forms are available from the Faculty of Science.

Please note that you may apply for a PhD at any time; there is no fixed admission deadline, nor is there a fixed commencement date for a PhD. The date you propose to start your PhD study is nominated in the application process. One exception to these deadlines is if you wish to be considered for a University of Auckland Doctoral Scholarship. From 2023 onward, these scholarships have four rounds per year, each with a specific application deadline; more information about Doctoral Scholarships is available.
