Psychology

Psychology is of fundamental relevance to society. The discipline addresses important questions about the very nature of human behaviour: How do we remember and process information? How are gender and sexuality related to identity? How are addictions and brain chemistry related? How do we cope with stress in a changing world? In Toronto Metropolitan’s University’s Psychology degree program, students learn about the human mind, behaviour, and emotion, as well as how we think, feel and reason. Students also delve into experimental and clinical research methodologies.

Through a comprehensive selection of courses, students study experimental and clinical research methodologies and focus on the program’s core areas – cognition and neuroscience, developmental and social psychology, clinical and health psychology, and advanced research specialization.  The Psychology curriculum builds on one year of predominantly social science foundations followed by three years of specialized study in Psychology.
