Joint Honours degrees combine the requirements of Honours majors in two different disciplines. A Joint Honours academic plan with Psychology may be taken in combination with most Arts disciplines in which an Honours academic plan is offered or with many Honours majors in other Faculties. Please refer to Joint Honours in the Available Arts Academic Plans section as well as the Psychology Undergraduate Student Handbook for further details.
Please refer to the Applying for a Psychology Major section.
Continuation in this academic plan requires a cumulative overall average of 60%, a cumulative Psychology average of 75%, and the minimum major average requirement for the second major. Conditional standing may be granted for one academic term to students whose averages fall below these criteria.
Eligibility for graduation in the Joint Honours Psychology academic plan includes successful fulfillment of the following requirements:
- Appropriate Program-level requirements for the Home Faculty, including at least 20 academic course units (40 courses). If the Home Faculty is Arts, see Bachelor of Arts Degree Requirements.
- Psychology Plan-level requirements:
- at least eight academic course units (16 courses) in Psychology with a minimum cumulative Psychology average of 75%. The Psychology course requirements are the same as those for Honours Psychology except that one of the nine academic course units (i.e., two of the 18 courses) in Psychology will be waived. The Psychology course requirements to be waived will be determined by the Psychology Undergraduate Office at the time of admission to the major.
- Plan-level requirements for the second major.
Notes:
- See the respective section for information regarding Honours Psychology Co-op. For those interested in Departmental Co-op, note that the first major must be Psychology.
- If Psychology courses are required for another academic plan(s), please refer to the Faculty of Arts' double-counting regulations for further details.
- The notes provided for Honours Psychology (Bachelor of Arts) apply to Joint Honours Psychology.
