Joint Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Psychology & Linguistics (OUB)

Psychology is the science that studies human behaviour and mental processes, and it is one of the richest fields of scholarly and scientific research. The BA in psychology deals with the fundamentals of psychology with a particular focus on how people learn, communicate and interact with one another, preparing students for graduate studies in experimental psychology, clinical psychology, in health sciences, in education or in administration.

Using the latest equipment and investigative approaches, University of Ottawa research laboratories make it possible for students to analyze spoken sounds, track eye movement and brain activity during language processing, explore language variation and acquisition, and probe dozens of other theoretical and empirical aspects of language including unfamiliar languages.

These programs can serve as an entry point for a master's degree in either speech-language pathology or audiology, as well as for subsequent graduate study in theoretical and empirical linguistics.
