It examines how internal and external factors influence development, cognition, perception, and motivation. The Department of Psychology has a well-earned reputation as one of the elite departments of its kind in Canada with groundbreaking research in many fields. The Department accepts a limited number of top students directly into Honours. All programs have a common core consisting of courses in statistics, research methods, behavioural neurobiology, and the history of psychology, plus a selection of courses from the areas of social, abnormal, personality and development, and from perception, cognition, learning, and memory. This Specialization is designed for students planning on careers in psychology-related fields, especially those requiring professional qualifications and graduate training. The Specialization adds to the Major a number of more intensive courses (Tier 2). These are more in-depth and specialized extensions of the core courses and may also include more extensive background in statistics and methodology, and the possibility of the equivalent of a thesis course.
