    choice
    Overview of
    Uvic
    UVic is located in the city of Victoria and is
    the capital of BC. Uvic is ranked 2nd in Canada
    for comprehensive learning, 1st for the
    employability rate of the students and is
    ranked 11th overall in Canada. Uvic has over
    150 clubs and many sports teams to be
    involved in. The campus is beautiful and is
    walking distance to all the buildings and the
    beach. Uvic would be a good school for me
    because I love Victoria and it’s easy to get
    involved in the school and community. Uvic
    provides guaranteed housing for 1st year
    students. They have all levels of education
    and the program I need, as well as an
    honours program. Uvic also has exchange
    programs to Scandinavia, where I want to go
    for a semester or two.
    BA in
    psychology

    • Uvic’s psychology program is a study


    of behaviour and mental processes.
    They teach you about how the brain
    works and how to foster healthy
    development. The program explores
    addiction, immigration, suicide,
    homelessness, aging and more. It
    allows involvement with the research
    community and the ability for hands-
    on field experience.
    Why I chose psychology
    Majoring
    in psych
    • I chose to study psychology because I’d like to become a clinical
    psychologist.
    • I want to become a clinical psychologist because I want to help
    teens and young adults cope and navigate their feelings and lives.
    • Psychology is something that has always interested me and I’d love
    to better understand how and why the brain works.
    • Required high school courses for entry to a psychology BA:
    • English 11
    • Math 11
    • Science 11
    Requirements • Socials 12
    • English 12
    • 3 approved grade 12 courses
    First year

    • BIOL courses • Social justice studies 100
    • CSC course
    • ENGL 135
    • PHIL course

    Why I chose these courses

    I chose Gender studies and Social justice because they are relevant courses and I find
    interest in knowing what’s going on in the world. They can also be related to psychology
    because they look at how events and societal expectations affect people.

    I chose American Sign Language because I think it is a useful language to learn and I’ve been
    wanting to learn ASL for a while.
