The Psychology Department at Western has over 50 faculty members doing research and teaching in seven Areas of Research Excellence including Behavioral and Cognitive Neuroscience, Clinical, Cognition, Developmental, Industrial/Organizational, Personality/Measurement, and Social. Undergraduate students often work with faculty, graduate and post-graduate students on cutting-edge questions about human and animal behaviour. 

Western offers several undergraduate programs in Psychology to accommodate students with varying interests. Students thinking about a career in Psychology or a related discipline, should consider one of Western's Honours Specialization programs. This is the program for those who like to develop a good understanding of the discipline of Psychology. A Psychology Major can be combined with a Major in another discipline to create an Honours Double Major degree, a valuable stepping stone to many professional programs such as Business, Education, Medicine, and Law. 

NOTE: Please note the English scores listed are minimum requirements. Meeting the minimums does not guarantee admission. Students with low English scores may be admitted to the English BOOST Program, a 9 week training program for conditional admission to their chosen program.
