Bachelor of Arts - Psychology - Honours

The Bachelor of Arts - Psychology - Honours at Algoma University's Brampton campus is a four-year Honours bachelor's degree that gives you a strong, career-focused education in this field.

You will study the science of mind and behaviour — cognition, development, personality, social psychology, neuroscience and research methods — combining theory with hands-on research and statistics. The program builds strong analytical, research and interpersonal skills that apply across many careers. Graduates work in mental health and community support, human resources, research, social services and case work, and the degree is essential preparation for graduate study in psychology, counselling and clinical fields.

Delivered at Algoma University's Brampton campus with small classes and personal support, and — as a degree from a public Canadian university — it keeps graduates eligible for a Post-Graduation Work Permit without the field-of-study restrictions that apply to college programs.

Graduates are well placed for roles such as Mental Health / Community Support Worker, Human Resources Associate and Research Assistant, gaining a mix of theory, applied projects and real Canadian experience that employers value.

Beyond subject knowledge, you will build the communication, teamwork, research and problem-solving skills that transfer across careers and set you up for long-term success in Canada and around the world.
