Psychology is the study of mind and behaviour. It seeks to understand our desires, impulses, actions, emotions, and thoughts.

In the Psychology program at UNB’s Saint John campus, you’ll study from faculty members with expertise in fields such as forensic psychology and criminal behaviour, addictive behaviour, psychopharmacology, human development, and animal behaviour. You’ll choose to study topics such as child development, drugs and behaviour, lie detection methods, and the causes and consequences of loneliness.
