Psychology is defined as the scientific study of behaviour and the mind. As such, psychological research provides insight into questions on topics such as newborn infants’ preference for their mother’s voice, the link between personality and academic achievement or physical health, how sleep influences learning and memory, the identification of individuals who are at risk for Alzheimer’s disease or cancer, sexual negotiation and behaviour in young adults, or even how you understand these words you are reading right now. Psychology is a scientific discipline with a multitude of practical applications: it deals with every aspect of our lives, and in its application of scientific methods to questions of human concern, it helps us to better understand how and why people act, think and feel the way they do. The Psychology program at Trent ensures that students acquire research skills and a broad-based background in the basic content of the discipline, and that they have the opportunity at upper levels to focus on more specialized topics and to become involved in original research.
The Honours program is available in a both thesis-based and course-based options.
