Our People
Dalhousie's Psychology and Neuroscience faculty are experts in a number of distinct, but complementary, research areas and have a strong commitment to integrating their research interests into their training and teaching.
Our clear strengths are in training knowledge creators in the science of the mind, brain, and behaviour and excellent clinicians who apply this knowledge. These strengths and this approach attract strong graduate students, who contribute significantly to a thriving research environment.
We also educate many undergraduate students who benefit from our strong and diverse faculty and also from a departmental mindset to not just teach the facts, but to educate students in how to think critically and analytically about scientific issues.
