Doctor of Philosophy - Cross Cultural Psychology

Victoria University of Wellington

A Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree involves original and sustained research, mentored by an academic supervisor. It’s an opportunity to make new discoveries, address some of the big issues of our time, challenge yourself, and develop a mix of transferable and specialised skills. Gain an understanding of how culture affects the way people think and behave. Explore cultural variation in psychological processes and examine the role of culture in shaping human behaviour. Develop the skills you need to critically assess and engage in cultural and cross-cultural research and learn the importance of understanding human behaviour from both culture-specific and culture-general perspectives. Learn to become a skilful researcher or to work with culturally diverse communities either in New Zealand or internationally. Be part of the only postgraduate programme in Cross-cultural Psychology in Australasia, and one of only two available in English in the world. You'll study with the School of Psychology, working with and learning from internationally connected lecturers who are active researchers and experts in their field.
