What is a Module?
A module is like a program stream. It describes what type of courses you need to take to graduate with the degree you desire! Whether you are interested in a major in psychology, a minor, an honours specialization, or a combination of multiple degrees, this webpage has you covered.
How do Course Codes Work at Western?
Course codes demonstrate the relative difficulty of the course. In general, the first digit indicates the level of the course (1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th year level).
For example: 2801 and 2076 are both 2nd year level courses, while Psychology 1001A is a first year level course
The following 3 digits indicate the difficulty of the course within that year. In general, courses with a 0 in the 2nd digit are meant to be easier. Anything with a 1 or greater in the 2nd digit is a slightly more advanced course.
For example: A 2801 course is meant to be slightly more challenging than a 2076.
What is the difference between a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology?
Psychology is a unique field because it lies between the natural sciences (like biology) and the social sciences (like sociology). At some places, like Western University, it is considered a social science, but it is not categorized in the same way at every school. To accomadate for the different types of research done in Psychology, a Bachelor of Arts (the more general degree) and a Bachelor of Science (emphasizes more of the biological basis) are offered!
