What it isYou 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 design and manage the built and natural environments — from city neighborhoods and transportation systems to parks and land use. The co-op requirement means you'll alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at planning firms, municipalities, or environmental organizations, giving you real experience while you study. It suits people who want hands-on learning, enjoy solving problems about how communities develop, and are willing to commit to the co-op schedule.You study psychology combined with applied health sciences — how human behaviour, biology, and social factors shape health and illness. Unlike a straight psychology program, this stream emphasizes practical health applications and the ability to work across healthcare and social systems. The co-op option lets you work in healthcare settings, clinics, or community agencies while studying. It suits students interested in both understanding the mind and applying that knowledge to real health problems.
