Program details

Overview

This certificate in psychology introduces students to the basic notions of psychology as a scientific discipline, including social and developmental psychology, emotions and their regulation, and personality. The 30-credit program is offered full-time or part-time at the Gatineau campus, with admission in fall, winter, and summer terms. It gives students a foundation in psychological theory and research methods without requiring a full bachelor's-level commitment, suiting those exploring the field before committing to further study, working in an adjacent helping profession, or seeking psychology knowledge alongside another university discipline. The certificate can stand alone as a general-interest credential or serve as a first step toward further study in psychology or a related helping profession such as social work, counselling, or human services.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Admission runs through three pathways. Applicants may hold a Quebec DEC or equivalent; have completed at least 15 university credits with a cumulative average of 2.0/4.3 or equivalent; or demonstrate at least six months of pertinent and recognized experience, such as crisis intervention, crisis-line work, or mental-health volunteering, supported by a one- to two-page motivation letter.
