Program details
Overview
This program is offered as a four-year Bachelor of Science in Psychology at Wilfrid Laurier University, with full-time or part-time study beginning in September or January and delivered mainly in person on the Waterloo campus. The BSc track focuses on neuroscience, perception, and cognition through lab-based coursework, building toward research or health-related career paths, in contrast to the Bachelor of Arts stream offered under the same program, which centres on social, developmental, and clinical psychology. Required community service learning courses build in field experience, and students have opportunities for upper-year lab involvement. Co-op is optional, open to students who apply at the end of first year for a paid work term of twelve to sixteen weeks, and a study abroad option is also available. Students can further customize the degree through minors or combined programs, including options with Biology or Computer Science. The program suits students interested in behavioural science, mental health, or neuroscience who want a lab-based, science-oriented route through the discipline.

Application Details
Start Date:September (fall term) or January (winter term)
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through OUAC: for fall 2027 entry Ontario high school applicants must apply by January 15, 2027 while all other domestic applicants have until April 1, 2027; winter 2027 entry closes November 22, 2026 and spring 2027 entry closes March 15, 2027, with transcripts and required documents due May 12, 2027 for fall applicants. International applicants for fall 2027 fall under the same April 1, 2027 deadline as non-Ontario domestic and transfer applicants, with no separate international-specific date published. Laurier treats these as firm deadlines rather than rolling admission, though space-permitting late applications may still be reviewed. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
