Undergraduate Program (BA)

Program Overview

“Perhaps the most fascinating and mysterious universe of all is the one within us.” -- Carl Sagan, former Professor of Astronomy, Cornell University

Psychology is of fundamental relevance to our society. The discipline addresses important questions about the very nature of human behaviour: How do we remember and process information? How are gender and sexuality related to identity? How are addictions and brain chemistry related? How do we cope with stress in a changing world? In this program, students learn about the human mind, behaviour and emotion; how we think, feel, and reason. Students also delve into experimental and clinical research methodologies.

The core goals of the program are to

educate students in the science of psychology and its application to real-life situations,
prepare students for careers in which they will confront, elucidate, and solve problems which have psychological components,
provide the foundation for students to opt for post graduate studies in a variety of areas.
