What is an Honours Thesis?
An undergraduate psychology honors thesis is a major research project in Psychology carried out by a 4th year honors psychology student under the mentorship of a qualified psychology supervisor, usually a full-time psychology professor on main campus. The psychology thesis is an empirical project that involves formulating a research question, developing a research method, gathering psychological data, applying statistical analyses to the data, interpreting the findings, and writing a report using the formatting requirements of our professional association. Thesis students present their findings to the Psychology Department at our annual Undergraduate Thesis Poster Day. Completing an honors thesis is excellent preparation for graduate school in Psychology.
