Undergraduate programs
Designed to give students broad training, including research methods, the basis of psychological disorders, development, learning and the neurobiology of behaviour and the brain.
Psychology (BSc, BA)
Modern scientific psychology explores brain processes and behavior in both humans and animals, studying how we learn, form memories and respond to stress. The core psychology curriculum includes training in statistics, research methods, behavioral neurobiology and the history of psychology. Students can complement their studies with courses in business, communications, or education.
Opt for a BSc or a BA in Psychology
The primary difference between a Bachelor of Science (BSc) and a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Psychology lies in the electives: BSc students choose more science-based courses (e.g., Biology, Chemistry, Physics), while BA students focus on arts and humanities electives.
Both degrees require the same core Psychology courses, but a science background may benefit students pursuing careers in neuroscience or medical school.
Neuroscience (BSc)
Discover the power of the brain with Concordia's Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Neuroscience. One of the only programs in Canada to feature hands-on laboratories, students will gain experience in neuroanatomy, neuronal communication, brain imaging and data analysis, combining theoretical and experimental approaches to study the brain with cutting-edge techniques.
