What it is	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.	This program teaches you how to improve health at the population level by studying disease prevention, health policy, and data systems. You'll learn to analyse health trends, design public health programs, and use technology to track and manage health outcomes. The co-op option means you alternate between classroom study and paid work placements in real health organizations, giving you direct experience in the field and making it suit students who want hands-on learning alongside theory.	You study how to identify and solve health problems in communities and populations, rather than treating individual patients. This includes research into disease patterns, policy-making, and public health programs. The co-op requirement means you work in real health organizations alongside your coursework, giving you practical experience in areas like disease prevention, health education, and policy development. It suits people interested in the bigger picture of health and wellness across whole communities, not just clinical care.
