PSYC: Psychology Student Youth Competition

PSYC is Canadian psychology competition designed specifically for high school students. Created by students, for students.
About this Event

This unique event provides an exciting opportunity to explore, apply, and showcase your understanding of psychology in a dynamic, university-level environment.

Participants can complete in teams of two to four people, taking part in two equally weighted components: a 75-minute written exam and a formal presentation. Through this experience, students will deepen their knowledge, build critical thinking and communication skills, and gain valuable exposure to the field of psychology.

In partnership with York University—home to one of Canada’s largest undergraduate psychology programs—PSYC offers participants the chance to connect with faculty, engage in an enriching academic environment, and earn recognition on a broader stage.

Whether you’re passionate about psychology or simply curious to learn more, PSYC is your opportunity to challenge yourself, gain hands-on experience, and take your first step into the world of psychology.

Participants are responsible for providing their own lunch; however, York University offers a wide variety of on-campus food options.
