Program details

Overview

Psychology at Western University is an undergraduate program offered through a set of modules leading to a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science, in honours specialization, major, or minor form. Distinct honours pathways include a humanities-oriented BA specialization, a science-oriented BSc specialization, and an Honours Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience BSc concentration, alongside a combined Honours Psychology program run jointly with Ivey Business School's Honours Business Administration degree. Students who qualify can complete an honours thesis as part of their program. The department frames its offerings as a program/modules system, with resources to help students identify the module that best matches their interests and goals, along with course information, academic counselling, and a summer internship program for undergraduates. The program suits students drawn to psychology from either a humanities or science perspective, including those interested in combining psychology with business studies or with a research-intensive path through an honours thesis or neuroscience concentration.

Requirements

Minimum GPA: 75.00 / %
Admission Requirements: The Psychology undergraduate hub page states no admission figures itself. Ontario applicants apply through OUAC to the Faculty of Social Science or Science with an Ontario Secondary School Diploma including English (ENG4U) among six Grade 12U/M courses, plus at least one Grade 12 mathematics course (Calculus and Vectors, Mathematics of Data Management, Advanced Functions, Functions, or Functions and Relations); admission is competitive on the top-six average. Entry to the Honours Specialization in Psychology (BSc) after Year 1 requires a minimum average of 75% across 3.0 principal courses (no mark below 60%), including Psychology 1000 or both Psychology 1002A/B and 1003A/B at a minimum of 60%, Data Science 1000A/B, a mathematics half-course, and Biology 1001A/1002B; entry after Years 2-3 instead requires a minimum cumulative (or last-10-course) average of 75%. Enrolment is limited. International applicants present an equivalent secondary credential plus English proficiency: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall (no band below 6.0) or TOEFL iBT 83 (no section below 20).

Application Details

Application Deadline: Western applies through the Ontario Universities' Application Centre, which opens for Fall 2027 entry in late September 2026; Western's own equal-consideration deadline for full-time undergraduate study is 15 January 2027, the same date used for domestic (OUAC 101/105) and international applicants alike, since Western publishes no separate international closing date. Several named programmes carry their own earlier deadlines within the cycle: Medicine (MD) closes 1 October 2026, Law (JD) and Dentistry (DDS) close 1 November 2026, Education (BEd) closes 2 November 2026, and Western Integrated Science closes in early April 2027. Students already enrolled in an Ontario high school cannot be required to respond to an offer before 1 June 2027. Admission is not rolling: applicants are assessed against these published deadlines. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
