Honours Program
Students who wish to enter into the Honours program require approval of both the Psychology and Neuroscience Department and the Registrar (see the Calendar for a full description of university regulations governing Honours programs). Students who have graduated from Dalhousie with a BA or BSc (15 or 20 credit) may return for an additional year to obtain an Honours Certificate. Admission requirements are the same as those listed for Honours students. If you want to have more information, you can contact either a Psychology or Neuroscience Honours Coordinator to make an appointment.
To inquire about supervision, students can approach any faculty member within the Department of Psychology & Neuroscience, as well as faculty who are cross-appointed or adjunct to the department. With permission of the Honours Coordinators, students can also approach faculty from other departments and/or universities, as long as the project is relevant to Psychology and/or Neuroscience.
