Program details
Overview
Biopsychology at Mount Allison University studies the brain and nervous system and how they shape human behaviour, combining coursework from biology and psychology. The program is offered as an undergraduate certificate, a Bachelor of Science major, or a Bachelor of Science honours degree, with flexibility for students to lean more heavily toward the biology or psychology side of the discipline. Coursework includes biopsychology, human physiology, neurophysiology, and human neuropsychology, culminating in an advanced capstone course covering behavioural neuroscience topics with a physiological and genetic focus. Delivery is on-campus at the Sackville, New Brunswick campus, with undergraduate research opportunities through faculty-supervised independent projects and access to laboratory facilities including labs focused on psychobiology, sexual health, personality, and neuroscience. The program is suited to students interested in the physiological basis of behaviour and the links between biology and neuropsychology. It prepares graduates for further study in medicine or psychology, or for careers such as neurologist, mental health counsellor, or other roles in research and healthcare.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Biopsychology's programme page sets no academic prerequisites of its own for a Bachelor of Science and defers to Mount Allison's general admission requirements. There, decisions weigh the whole applicant — academic record, leadership, level of commitment, and potential for personal growth — with the specific courses and grades required varying by the applicant's province or country and prior education. Applicants whose language of instruction was not English must meet Mount Allison's English proficiency requirement: IELTS Academic 6.5 with no band below 6.0, or TOEFL iBT 90 with at least 20 in each of Listening, Reading, Speaking, and Writing (PTE Academic 60 with no score below 51, CAEL CE 70 with no part below 60, Cambridge English B2 First/C1 Advanced/C2 Proficiency 176 with no band below 169, and Duolingo English Test 110 are also accepted). Three years of Canadian secondary schooling, or 30+ credit hours at an English-medium post-secondary institution, can also satisfy it; applicants short only on language may receive conditional admission through the university's English Summer Pathway Program.
