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.	This program combines the study of how young people develop and behave with the study of how society works and institutions function. You'll examine topics like family dynamics, education systems, social inequality, and policy that affects children and youth, drawing on psychology and social work perspectives. It suits students who want to understand people and social structures in depth before moving into careers like social work, education, counselling, or community development.	You study how religion, moral philosophy, and social justice intersect with modern society, drawing on theology, psychology, sociology, and journalism. Unlike a straight theology program, this combines faith-based thinking with social science and applied communication skills to understand real-world ethical issues. It suits students interested in exploring belief systems and their role in addressing social problems, whether through advocacy, community work, or writing.
