Our Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Psychology and Neuroscience program provides you with a science education that includes broad exposure to the major sub-fields of psychology along with specialization in neuroscience.
Training in other natural sciences complements the skills and knowledge acquired through the neuroscience area. Our understanding of the brain at both the cellular and systems level has increased dramatically over the last 50 years. Integrating this knowledge with psychological constructs is the focus of this program.
Program Highlights
Course options allow for specialization in specific areas of neuroscience, such as psychopharmacology, computational neuroscience or the biochemistry of behaviour.
In addition to researching human psychology, our researchers work with a wide variety of species (birds, fish, rats and reptiles) to explore how behaviour varies across species. In upper years, you’ll have the opportunity to become involved in this cutting edge research – a great way to get real-world research experience.
Our students are eligible for Summer Research Awards from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada.
