Bachelor of Arts – Psychology

The Psychology program delivers a solid foundation in the scientific study of human behavior alongside related psychological, social, and biological processes. Students cover diverse topics such as child development, cognition, memory, personality, emotion, mental health, and cross-cultural psychology.

The curriculum emphasizes quantitative research methods, experimentation, and statistical analysis. Students can pursue a Certificate in Social Research Methods, participate in laboratory volunteer opportunities, or explore alternative pathways such as the Bachelor of Science in Psychology or the limited-enrolment Sport Psychology program offered by the Faculty of Health.
