Program details

Overview

This program leads to a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Psychology over four years, delivered in-class at the Downtown Oshawa campus, with a first year of core natural science courses in biology, chemistry, physics, math and psychology, followed by foundational psychology courses in second year and science electives in the upper years. The curriculum builds a foundation in research methods and statistics alongside the cognitive and biological underpinnings of human behaviour. Optional specializations include Affective Science and Mental Health, Cognitive and Brain Sciences, and Developmental Psychological Science. More than 175 organizations provide placement opportunities, and about 90 per cent of graduates are employed within six months of graduation. It suits students aiming at further study or direct-to-work opportunities in medicine, health care, social services, or mental health, distinct from the more social-science-focused track offered by the Bachelor of Arts stream of the same program.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Current Ontario secondary school students must complete the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) with six 4U or 4M credits, including English (ENG4U), Advanced Functions (MHF4U), and two of Biology (SBI4U), Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U), Chemistry (SCH4U) or Physics (SPH4U). Admission is competitive: last year's cut-off was 70 per cent and the expected cut-off sits in the low 70s, so meeting the minimums does not guarantee a seat. Applicants whose first language is not English must present, within two years of the intake, IELTS Academic 6.5 with no band below 6.0, Duolingo English Test 120, PTE Academic 58, CAEL 70 with no band below 60, Cambridge English Advanced 180 with no band below 170, or Oxford ELLT 7, per the university's general admission requirements. The program begins each September and January.
