At Trent, Psychology students dive into diverse topics, from personality and child development, to abnormal psychology and neuroscience, and beyond. No matter your area of interest, you will work closely with faculty who are devoted to teaching and research, and create opportunities for interactive, experiential learning for students to strengthen their knowledge and professional skills related to understanding ourselves.
