Program details

Overview

This Bachelor's program in Psychology, offered through Concordia's Department of Psychology on the Loyola campus, covers the five main areas of the discipline: social, developmental, clinical, neuroscience, and cognition, with all students receiving foundational training in statistics, research methods, and behavioural neurobiology. Students choose among a 42-credit Major suited to fields such as teaching, business, personnel work, or community involvement; a 60-credit Specialization; or a 66-credit Honours stream that adds research experience and an Honours thesis. Full-time study takes three to four years (90-120 credits), with admission in the Fall or Winter term. The program is accredited by the OPQ/CPA, and students can take the courses required to qualify for clinical graduate programs; opportunities exist to join active research labs, supported by in-house program advising. It suits students planning careers or graduate study in psychology, medicine, or research, as well as those pairing psychology with business, communications, or education.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: The Bachelor of Science stream requires a Quebec CEGEP DEC with an overall average of 27.5, or a B average for Canadian high-school applicants, or 29 points for the IB Diploma, plus Calculus 1 and 2, a physics sequence (Mechanics, Electricity and Magnetism, Waves, Optics and Modern Physics), General Chemistry and Chemistry of Solutions, and a biology course; the Bachelor of Arts stream applies the same cut-off averages (27.5 CEGEP, B high school, 29 IB) without a mathematics or science requirement. Concordia's institution-wide English proficiency minimum applies unless exempt: IELTS Academic 6.0 with no band below 5.5, TOEFL iBT 70, or Duolingo 105. Fall applications are due March 1 (February 1 for U.S./international) and Winter applications November 1 (August 1 for U.S./international); meeting the minimum averages does not guarantee admission.

Application Details

Start Date: September and January
Application Deadline: Domestic applicants, including Quebec CEGEP graduates, apply directly to Concordia: for Fall 2027 entry (September start) the application deadline is 1 March 2027, and for Winter 2027 entry (January start) it is 1 November 2026; not all programs admit in Winter. Concordia sets the same formal deadlines for U.S. and international applicants but strongly recommends applying earlier - by 1 February 2027 for Fall or 1 August 2026 for Winter - to allow time for immigration processing. Late applications are considered if space remains, and Concordia does not publish a separate application-opening date. Graduate programs, including the Executive MBA, set their own per-program deadlines rather than following this university-wide undergraduate date. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
