Doctor of Philosophy in Community Psychology AEC800 (APHD20)

Doctor of Philosophy in Community Psychology

The PhD in community psychology consists of a specialized doctoral programme of studies for registered psycholog All doctoral degrees require the completion of a thesis. (Some doctoral programmes may have coursework components, but in such instances the successful completion of the coursework component serves merely as a prerequisite for the submission of the thesis for assessment. Only the thesis assessment is considered for the award of the degree. Doctoral degrees are awarded pass or fail assessments. No marks are awarded and degrees are not awarded with merit or distinction”. A limited number of students selected in terms of academic merit and personal suitability will be admitted to the programme which extends over a minimum period of two years.

The curriculum consists of three basic parts: The curriculum consists of two basic units:

  • the university coursework – AEC801
  • a thesis – AEC802

University coursewor This consists of examinations and supervised course-work in the following areas:

Paper 1   

African  community  psychology  and/or  community  psychology  in  South Africa, including early older forms of community psychology, traditional healing and Afro-Christian healing. Community psychology theory, models and development e.g. in industry, education and health with special focus on rural development.

Paper 2           

Community psychology research methods applied in community settings.

Paper 3

Community psychology interventions, including community and cultural counselling and individual, interpersonal, marital, family, group psychotherapy in educational, clinical, health and industrial community settings.

Paper 4       

This consists of supervised practical work in a variety of community centres and settings. The practical part is distinguishable but inseparable from the thesis and theoretical part in that the community centres and settings provide the resources, direction and context for the thesis and theoretical part. The formal requirement for completion of the practical part is the submission of a scientific paper based upon the community psychological practice.

A Thesis (Paper 5)

Although it may be limited in scope and length the thesis satisfies all the academic requirements of a PhD thesis.

The two parts; thesis and coursework each carry equal weigh Candidates must pass both parts before the degree PhD (Community Psychology) is conferred.
