COURSE CURRICULUM

The program offers a comprehensive range of courses that integrate biological sciences, psychology, health sciences, and education to provide a deep understanding of human development, behavior, and brain function. Foundational courses such as BIOL 1010U and 1020U introduce molecular biology and ecology, while CHEM 1010U and 1020U cover essential chemistry concepts. Physics and mathematics tailored for biosciences (PHY 1030U, PHY 1040U, MATH 1015U) support the scientific foundation. Psychology courses span developmental, social, cognitive, and clinical domains, including PSYC 2010U, 2020U, 2030U, 2050U, 2060U, and advanced methods in research and data analysis (PSYC 2900U, 2910U, 3910U). Specialized topics like neuropharmacology, neuroscience, and biopsychology are covered in BIOL 3060U, BIOL 4820U, PSYC 3510U, 3520U, and 3530U. The curriculum also addresses mental health, forensic psychology, and social determinants of health through courses like FPSY 3055U, HLSC 1811U, and HLSC 4808U. Practical experience is gained via honours theses and practicum opportunities (PSYC 4110U, 4120U, SSCI 4098U). Additionally, courses in education such as EDST 2410U, 3160U, and 4150U explore learning theories and literacy development, enhancing skills for careers in health, research, education, or social services, preparing students for diverse professional and academic pathways.
