BSc in Psychology

Psychology is the science specializing in the understanding of human behaviour and mental processes. The BSc program studies the scientific fundamentals of psychology with a particular focus on the biological, chemical, and cognitive factors underlying human and animal behaviour. It gives students the opportunity to take part in academic research projects that provide privileged insight into the many facets of the discipline, also preparing students for graduate studies in experimental psychology, neuroscience, or health sciences.

The University of Ottawa serves as a national and international reference point in psychology. It is characterized by its openness to other disciplines, its strategic directions to meet future needs in the field, and its commitment to bilingualism. The University encourages interdisciplinary collaboration which creates numerous opportunities for students to work with colleagues and professors from other faculties such as Science, Medicine, Health Sciences and Arts.

Along with researchers and professors, students will be able to experience community-focused projects that have real-world applications in everyday life.
