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 advisor to make an appointment.
Here is a list of faculty who recently indicated that they are available as potential supervisors for honours students for the 2022-23 year. Beyond this list, students can also approach any faculty member based in PSYO/NESC, as well as faculty who are cross-appointed or adjunct, and/or faculty from separate departments (e.g., Health/Medicine, Kinesiology, Computer Science, etc.), as long as the project is relevant to Psychology and/or Neuroscience.
