Psychology is the scientific study of how people behave, think and feel. It is a broad ranging discipline that spans topics including brain function, memory, conscious experience, lifespan development, social behaviour and the full spectrum of functional and dysfunctional behaviour. Undergraduate students will gain an understanding of how to apply the scientific perspective to psychological phenomena in the laboratory and in the real world.

Psychology is available as a minor, major and extended major.

Your combination of science and psychology studies will give you a competitive edge with employers. You may enter professions that require superior analytical and thinking skills such as scientific research, neuroscience, human resources, and mental health. If you are seeking a psychology career then the fully accredited extended major in psychology provides the foundation for further training. You must complete the extended major in order to be eligible for entry into the Honours program.
