Introduction

Biopsychology is a Bachelor program taught at Mount Allison University, Canada. Intake: Fall, Spring. The program is offered in campus-based modes with full-time (4 years) options.

Biopsychology at Mount Allison University is the scientific study of the brain and nervous system and how they influence human behaviour, combining studies in biology and psychology. The program provides foundational knowledge about the physiological basis for behaviour and includes course options such as genetics and evolution, human physiology, animal behaviour, neurophysiology, sensation and perception, and behavioural neuroscience.

The program is interdisciplinary and requires students to take courses in both disciplines, with some flexibility to focus more heavily on biology or psychology. It includes a capstone project that explores advanced topics in biopsychology with a focus on the physiological, psychological, evolutionary, and genetic link between the brain and behaviour. Faculty-supervised independent research projects and an introductory psychology participant pool support undergraduate research experience.
