Our Master of Science (MSc) in Psychology program focuses on cognitive and behavioral neuroscience. From your first year, you can begin research under faculty guidance, gaining skills in research design, methodology, statistical analysis, and scholarly communication.
Neuroscience stands as one of the fastest-growing and most dynamic areas in life sciences. Laurier adopts a comprehensive approach, exploring connections between behavior, cognition, and neural systems across species—from fish to humans—at various levels from populations to cellular structures, and across timeframes spanning milliseconds to generations.
The MSc program aims to cultivate expertise in neuroscience research design, execution, and assessment. This program equips you for either advanced doctoral studies or research-focused careers in neuroscience-related fields.
