What it is	You 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.	You study how people should live together, focusing on moral reasoning and political systems. Ethics examines what is right and wrong; political philosophy explores how governments should be organized and what justice means. This program suits you if you want to think critically about values, laws, and society rather than train for a specific profession, and if you're comfortable with reading, writing, and debating complex ideas.
