Overview

Master of Science in Psychology

The Master of Science (MSc) in Psychology program is offered within the cognitive and behavioural neurosciences field.

In this program at Wilfrid Laurier University, you’ll hit the ground running and start conducting research with a faculty adviser in the fall of your first year

Over the course of 16 to 24 months, with the close mentorship of your adviser, you’ll learn how to develop a research program, use research methodologies and statistical techniques, present your work in talks and posters, and communicate your research as an expert in the field.

You'll form close bonds with faculty and peers through small, intensive courses, research lab groups, and regular area meetings, including seminars and journal clubs.

Students with a Master of Science in Psychology concentrating in cognitive and behavioural neurosciences often enter doctoral programs or pursue employment in environments requiring research skills.

PROGRAM OPTIONS

This full-time program is normally completed in two years (six consecutive terms). You’ll complete five half-credit courses and a thesis.
