Bachelor in Psychology, Applied (Bachelor of Arts, Honours)

Designed for the aspiring researcher and future graduate student, the Bachelor of Arts in Applied Psychology (Honours) provides an intensive academic environment where you don't just study psychology—you contribute to it. This programme is ideal for students who thrive in collaborative, research-heavy settings and are eager to move beyond the classroom to develop and execute their own independent research projects under faculty supervision.

A defining feature of this degree is its focus on practical application. Beyond the rigorous honours thesis, you will gain hands-on experience through laboratory work and community engagement, including opportunities with the Douglas Psychology Society. The curriculum allows you to tailor your studies to your career goals through specialized concentrations, including Pre-counselling, Psychosocial Rehabilitation, and Disability and Applied Behaviour Analysis (DABA). The DABA concentration is particularly notable, as its coursework is verified by the Association of Behavior Analysis International (ABAI), providing a clear pathway for students aiming for professional certification or advanced roles in the education and health sectors.
