What it isYou study how people think, feel, and behave — their minds, emotions, and actions. The BA program focuses on the human and social side of psychology, while the BSc program emphasizes biology and scientific methods, requiring stronger math and science foundations. This suits you if you're curious about why people do what they do and want either a broader social science education or a research-focused scientific approach.Chemical biology is the study of how chemicals and molecules work inside living cells and organisms, blending chemistry and biology together. Unlike a straight chemistry or biology program, you focus specifically on the molecular level of life processes. The co-op option means you alternate between school terms and paid work terms at companies or research labs, giving you real experience in the field. This suits people who want hands-on workplace learning and are curious about both how molecules behave and how life functions.This program combines science courses with business studies, so you study both scientific subjects like chemistry, biology, or computer science alongside accounting, management, and economics. Unlike a straight science degree, you gain practical knowledge of how science-based industries operate and how to manage projects or companies. It suits students who want a science career but also care about the business side — whether that's starting a science company, managing research teams, or working in science-related industries.

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
