The Bachelor of Science in Psychology focuses on the biological, neuroscientific and cognitive aspects of human behaviour.
We offer two different degree options for students in our BSc Psychology programs with a co-op option. Which degree you choose to complete will depend on what you want to do when you’re finished at Brock. Both degrees are the same for first and second year, so you have until the end of second year to decide which option is right for you.

Develop your research skills and identify goals for career or post-graduate training. As an undergraduate student, you will have opportunities to participate in research studies, complete independent study courses, and volunteer or work in a lab.
