Admission

Students pursuing this program may enter the combined degree in year one in either the Faculty of Social Sciences or the Faculty of Medicine. Admission requirements of both Faculties, the Department of Psychology and Community Rehabilitation Studies must be satisfied in order to qualify for the combined degree program.

The program requires careful selection of courses to complete all requirements of the two Faculties. Interested students are urged to contact the Associate Dean (Student Affairs) of Social Sciences and the Student Advisor in the Community Rehabilitation and Disability Studies Program. It will be possible for students to opt out of the combined program until the end of their third year and complete either a BA or BSc in Psychology or a BCR degree in four years. Students should note, however, that if courses have been unevenly distributed, more than four years may be required to complete the degree.
