Welcome to the Department of Psychology at the University of Waterloo!
Who are we? We are 41 exceptional professors dedicated to outstanding teaching, to world class research, and to high-quality research mentoring. We are 118 terrific graduate students pursuing MA and PhD degrees while also serving as committed teaching assistants (TAs) in our undergraduate courses. And we are an amazing staff devoted to all of our students, undergraduate and graduate.
For those new to UW, on behalf of all of us in Psychology, don’t be a stranger—come and get to know us. And for those of you returning, it’s great to have you back—come and renew acquaintances. The beginning of a new academic year is always an exciting time but it can also be somewhat daunting. If you need help, or if you just have a question, or even if you just want to connect with us, please come on by anytime. You’ll find everyone in Psychology very approachable and ready to help you.
From all of us in Psychology, have a fun and fulfilling 2017-18 academic year!
All best
