| 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. | You study how the human body works during exercise and physical activity, and how fitness and movement affect overall health. This program includes an optional co-op stream where you alternate between classroom learning and paid work terms at health or sports organizations, giving you real workplace experience alongside your degree. It suits students interested in exercise science, sports medicine, or health promotion who want both theoretical knowledge and hands-on practice before entering the field. | You study how the mind affects athletic performance and physical activity — combining sports science with psychology. You learn about motivation, stress, focus, and how athletes' thoughts and emotions influence training and competition. This differs from a straight psychology degree because the focus stays on sports and exercise contexts rather than broader mental health or clinical applications. | 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. |
