What it is	Psychology at Brock is a broad study of how people think, feel, and behave. You'll learn about the brain, emotions, learning, relationships, and mental health through lectures, labs, and research. This program includes a co-op option, letting you work in clinical settings, schools, or research labs while you study, which gives you real-world experience alongside your degree.	You study human behaviour, thinking, and emotion from scientific and practical angles. A four-year honours degree goes deeper than a three-year general degree, with more advanced courses and often a research component. This program suits people curious about why people act and think the way they do, and who want to understand psychology well enough for graduate study or specialized careers in mental health, research, or counselling.	You study human behaviour, thinking, and mental health through research, theory, and practical observation. This honours program includes a co-op option, meaning you alternate between classroom semesters and work terms at organizations like clinics, research labs, or social agencies, giving you real experience alongside your degree. It suits people curious about why people act and think as they do, who want hands-on workplace experience before deciding on a psychology career path.	Cognitive science studies how the mind works by combining insights from psychology, biology, computer science, linguistics, and philosophy. This non-honours version gives you a broader survey of these fields rather than the deeper specialization of an honours degree, so you spend less time on advanced research methods and theory. It suits students curious about how thinking, language, and brain function connect, who want flexibility to explore multiple disciplines without committing to one.
