Psychology is that branch of science which focuses on the behaviour of human beings and animals, with particular emphasis on the individual rather than the group. Our courses span the various areas of psychology and introduce students to the methods used in psychological research. The basic tools of the research psychologist include experimentation in the laboratory and field, naturalistic observation, and the use of statistical methods in interpreting data. Students in St. George campus Psychology programs are given first priority for enrolment in all second, third and fourth year Psychology courses. Please consult the Registration Handbook & Timetable for details.
