Bachelor of Arts in Psychology

The Bachelor of Arts in Psychology is a three-year program that provides students with foundational knowledge and skills in psychology as part of a comprehensive liberal arts program. Through this program, students gain a deep understanding of how human behaviour, cognitive functions, and emotional processes work based on evidence and conceptual research. They also learn about how physiological and biological processes can influence cognitive and emotional states, individual development and behaviour. A psychology degree is relevant to many career paths. Graduates will discover that studies in psychology are widely transferable and valuable across many industries and complement studies in areas such as the law, human resources and management, sociology, behavioural science, data analytics and social justice. Students explore the diagnosis and treatment of mental health difficulties while examining scientific methods used to analyse a wide range of topics related to mental health and behaviour. To further expand their knowledge, students can choose from a variety of second majors or minors that can complement their psychology studies and cater to their individual interests.
