About the Program
Change how you engage with the world and seek to understand the complexities of the human experience. Explore the foundations of human behavior by delving into developmental, social, cognitive, clinical, and physiological psychology. You’ll also develop critical skills through direct experience in research methodology and statistics, with opportunities to conduct original research. Whether you’re preparing for graduate school or seeking a career in management, public service, or other fields, this program provides a strong foundation.
The Polytechnic Approach
Conduct research, analyze your data and interpret your findings. Educate the community during Brain Awareness Week. Join faculty-led research in topics including well-being, actualizing potential, recovering from intergenerational trauma, or social and emotional learning. Learn psychological theories and methods, then apply them to real-life scenarios. Here, you prepare for your career or postgraduate studies by doing hands-on work.
