Bachelor of Science - Psychology

In the Psychology program at UNB’s Fredericton campus, students will explore human behavior - desires, impulses, actions and emotions- in the context of the science that drives it.

The Psychology program will prepare students for a variety of careers including policymaking at the local, national or global level, or professional programs in a range of healthcare areas such as neuropsychology, speech and language pathology, or medicine.

Students will have the opportunity complete courses in: • Cognitive neuroscience (the connection between the brain and behavior)

• Drugs and behavior • Physiological psychology • Surveys of the senses • Laboratory courses that allow for more intensive study • Students will become well equipped to work in a variety of environments and they will gain the skills and knowledge to make decisions based on sound scientific principles.

The Psychology program is available as a major, double major, minor or honours option as part of a four-year Bachelor of Science degree.

The Faculty of Science is one of the university’s oldest faculties and was established when UNB was founded in 1785.
