HÂþ» Our Department
The Department of Psychology & Neuroscience conducts world-class research and training. We offer Bachelor’s, Master’s, and PhD degrees in Psychology and Neuroscience, as well as an accredited doctoral program in Clinical Psychology.
The Department of Psychology and Neuroscience is committed to providing a safe environment that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive. We support and encourage all members of our departmental community to share a commitment to providing a space for learning and research in which we can all thrive. We recognize the importance of supporting and involving members of our local communities, including African Nova Scotian and Mi’kmaq Peoples. Broader representation of the people who make up our community could help disrupt the historical exclusion of members of these groups from academia. We acknowledge the systemic barriers present in our academic institutions and are actively working towards eliminating these barriers in order to foster an open, diverse climate for more enlightened learning.
HÂþ» University is located in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq. We are all Treaty people.
