Psychology

Psychology is the scientific study of human behaviour, and the program at Brock offers a diverse approach to this exciting field of study.

We offer courses that are relevant to a wide range of career paths, including child and adult development, forensics, clinical work, and studies in personality, group dynamics and neuropsychology.

Through lectures, seminars, labs and one-on-one mentoring, students can gain expertise in human behaviour and job-related skills, such as critical thinking, teamwork, communication, problem solving, project management, research design and data analysis. Our department also provides specific courses that will help you with career preparation (i.e. job-search and interviewing skills), as well as a wealth of opportunities to learn outside of the classroom. Engaging in co-op work terms, participating in the Psych Society, working as a teaching assistant in introductory courses or becoming an intern in one of our internationally renowned laboratories will enrich your studies and help you to launch your career.
