Department Objectives

Psychology is the scientific study of mental life, both its neurological bases and its manifestations in behaviour. Psychology also examines the factors that promote change in behaviour and mental activity. Through teaching and research, the Department serves the community by furthering such knowledge and applying it to promote human welfare. The commitment of faculty members to research assures that students keep up with current developments. Their involvement in community programs keeps students and faculty alike in close touch with the practical application of the discipline.

The Department is proud to participate in the Kaié:ri Nikawerá:ke Indigenous Bridging Program for BA and BSc Psychology students. This program offers alternative entry to eligible Indigenous students, specifically from First Nations, Métis and Inuit communities located in Canada, whose academic path is non-traditional. Students who successfully complete this bridging program will be able to transition to the program of their choice within the Department of Psychology. For admissions criteria, please consult the following pages:
