Academic school/college: Faculty of Social Sciences (Psychology) and Faculty of Engineering/Computer Science (Computer Science). This 4-year full-time Bachelor of Science (BSc) program offers a unique combined major that allows students to discover the relationship between psychology and computer science. It provides a strong foundation in both disciplines, enabling a comprehensive understanding of their technical and theoretical aspects. The curriculum features coursework in areas such as software design, data structures, social psychology, and cognition, exploring how psychological principles can be applied to the development and implementation of computer systems. Key topics include using psychology to design better digital interfaces, working with artificial intelligence, understanding different ways of explaining human behavior, and developing computer systems based on neural models. Sample courses include: Fundamentals of Programming (CSC 110), Introduction to Mind and Brain (PSYC 251), Human-Computer Interaction (SENG 310), Cognitive Neuroscience (PSYC 351C), and Introduction to Artificial Intelligence (CSC 421). This combined major requires specific foundational courses in both Psychology and Computer Science, along with mathematics requirements (e.g., MATH 100 or MATH 109).

Graduates with a BSc in Psychology and Computer Science are highly sought after for their interdisciplinary skills, bridging the gap between human behavior and technological innovation. This unique combination prepares them for careers requiring an understanding of both human cognition and computing systems. Career options include: Artificial intelligence developer, Brain-machine interface designer, Cognitive neuroscience researcher, Data scientist, Health technologist, Human-computer interaction (HCI) designer, Library science professional, Software developer, UX/UI Designer, Product Manager, Educational Technologist, Behavioral Data Analyst, and roles in cybersecurity (understanding human factors), virtual reality, and gaming. The program's optional co-operative education provides up to 16 months of paid work experience, significantly enhancing employability.
