Bachelor of Science (B.Sc) in Neuroscience – Psychology

The Department of Psychology offers two different Majors that lead to a B.A.: Psychology and Applied Psychology. We also offer a Neuroscience program that leads to a B.Sc. Students are initially admitted into a Major program. Excellent students may then be admitted into Honours if they maintain a cumulative average over 80% and good standing (75%) in methodology and stats courses. The Honours program provides the opportunity for the students to conduct their own research under the direct, individual supervision of a faculty member. This is recommended for students planning to apply to graduate school. Québec students entering one of the Psychology programs with a DEC and appropriate background can usually complete either the Major or Honours program in three years. Students entering from Grade 12 will normally require four years. This program focuses on the physiological aspects of Psychology: the workings of the human brain and its relationship to human behaviour. It includes a number of physiological psychology, biology and biochemistry courses. The strong science component makes this program an excellent preparation towards graduate school or medicine.
