What it is	This program teaches you how people think, behave, and interact — the science behind psychology. You'll study psychological theories and research methods alongside related fields like sociology and social work, giving you a broad understanding of human behaviour and society. It suits students curious about why people do what they do and interested in careers involving counselling, research, or social services.	You study human behaviour, relationships, and social systems from childhood through adulthood, drawing on sociology, psychology, and policy analysis. This program is broader than social work alone because it covers family dynamics, community development, and social change rather than focusing only on professional counselling or casework. It suits people interested in understanding how families and societies work and who want careers in social services, policy, research, or international 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.
