In the Psychology program at UNB's Fredericton campus, you'll explore human behaviour- our desires, impulses, actions and emotions- in the context of the science that drives it.

The Psychology program will prepare you for a variety of careers, including policymaking at the local, national or global level, or professional programs in a range of healthcare areas such as neuropsychology, speech and language pathology, or medicine.

You'll have the opportunity to complete courses in:

Cognitive neuroscience (the connection between the brain and behaviour)
