Message from the Chair

Welcome to Psychology at the University of New Brunswick - Saint John. Our department is strong in both teaching and research, with faculty members receiving awards and recognition in both areas. Our Department offers Major and Honours programs in both Arts and Sciences, and in collaboration with the Department of Biology, we also offer the very popular Biopsychology Major and Honours programs. The department also provides a Master's program in Applied and Experimental Psychology and jointly offers a Ph.D. program in Applied and Experimental Psychology in collaboration with the Department of Psychology on the Fredericton campus. We also participate in the Ph.D. Clinical Psychology program offered at UNB-Fredericton.

Faculty members in our Department have active and ambitious research programs.  They conduct studies in criminal justice, forensic psychology, psychopharmacology, addictions, interpersonal relations and well-being, lie detection, developmental psychology, animal learning, and perception. All faculty members actively supervise undergraduate and graduate students in their thesis studies.

Our Department places great value in its students and community.  Faculty members are actively involved in ongoing collaborations with other institutions (e.g., Horizon Health Network, Saint John Mental Health Court), as well as, community organizations (e.g., Canadian Mental Health Association - Saint John).

We look forward to seeing you in the Department of Psychology at UNB Saint John.

Best Wishes,

Dr. Enrico DiTommaso, Professor & Chair
