Experiential learning is learning that involves applying theory and/or academic content to authentic experiences in the classroom, laboratory, or community. The Department of Psychology, Neuroscience & Behaviour offers experiential learning opportunities to students in all programs, work-integrated learning opportunities” (e.g., undergraduate TAships), extracurricular opportunities (e.g., clubs, societies, and volunteering), and course-based opportunities.  

This page provides information on course-based experiential learning, that is, all of these opportunities are available to students for course credit.  

• Research courses allow students to work under the supervision of a faculty member on an authentic research project. 
• Peer mentoring courses allow senior students to build their mentorship and communication skills as they support students skills academically, professionally, and/or socially. 
• Applied placements and internships allow students to explore career options and apply course concepts and theories to a professional experience.
