Program details
Overview
This Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières is offered full-time or part-time at the Trois-Rivières and Terrebonne campuses, with admission each fall. The program builds foundational knowledge and research methodology while students study human behaviour, brain function, development across the lifespan, social interaction, and psychopathology. A core set of mandatory courses covers research methods, cognitive psychology, psychopathology, psychophysiology, social psychology, developmental psychology, and health psychology, and students choose electives organized into tracks such as research, evaluation and intervention, childhood and adolescence, neuroscience and cognition, health, sexology, and gerontology, with some coursework also relevant to speech-language pathology preparation. The program suits students interested in understanding human behaviour and mental processes, and prepares graduates either for further graduate study, which is required for professional licensure as a psychologist, or for direct employment in fields such as social services, education, community organizations, and healthcare.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission to the Bachelor of Psychology is per UQTR's program-based process. Quebec DEC holders qualify with a DEC in Natural Sciences, a DEC in Sciences, Letters and Arts, or any DEC completed with courses in quantitative analysis, applied statistics and human biology; applicants with a Cote R below 25 may instead enter the Certificate in Psychology and transfer into the bachelor's after completing it with a minimum GPA of 3.2/4.3 and the same prerequisite courses. University-route applicants need at least 30 completed university credits, the same 3.2/4.3 GPA, and courses equivalent to Statistics I and Human Physiology Elements; applicants entering on relevant experience follow the certificate pathway. Candidates from outside Quebec with 12 years of pre-university education need one further university year covering the same quantitative-methods and biology competencies. As with all UQTR bachelor's and professional programs, candidates must meet the university's French-language admission requirement, using a recognized test such as UQTR's own TIFEI for international applicants (French nationals with a baccalaureat are exempt). The program requires students to own a laptop for its ICT-based teaching approach. Admission is currently closed.
Application Details
Start Date:September
Application Deadline:UQTR sets its own admission deadlines by trimester rather than through a shared application service: for the Fall 2027 trimester, undergraduate (first-cycle) applications are due 1 September 2027 and graduate (upper-cycle) applications 28 August 2027, while international applicants at either level must apply earlier, by 1 April 2027; for the Winter 2027 trimester, the undergraduate deadline is 5 January 2027, the graduate deadline is 1 January 2027, and the international deadline was 1 August 2026. UQTR notes that some contingented (limited-enrolment) programmes may carry different deadlines than these general dates, and that after any deadline it reserves the right not to process the application, so admission is firm rather than rolling. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
