A psychology degree will help you answer many of life’s questions. What makes people think and act the way they do? What causes people to interact with each other in functional and dysfunctional ways? To what extent do our personality and environment influence our behaviour? Our courses cover such topics as: memory, motivation, and decision making; how the attitudes and actions of other people influence us; the origins and treatment of mental illness; human development from birth to death; and the way our cultural backgrounds shape the way we think and behave. Our large and small lectures, seminars, and discussion groups offer opportunities for active learning, and for participation in field settings. The four-year Honours Psychology program expands the knowledge base with advanced courses in various areas of psychology and prepares students to apply for nonpsychology professional degrees.
