What you study	Psychology	Education Studies Psychology Sport & Exercise Science	Hospitality, Recreation and Leisure Human Biology Sport & Exercise Science
What it is	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 how to teach physical education and sports while learning the psychology behind athletic performance and mental training. This combines teacher training with sport psychology rather than preparing you only for classroom teaching or sports science research. It suits people who want to work with athletes or students in physical activity settings and are comfortable teaching in French.	You study how to manage sports facilities, recreation programs, and leisure services for communities and organizations. Unlike a general sports science program, this degree focuses on the business and administrative side — scheduling, budgeting, staffing, and customer experience — rather than personal fitness or athletic performance. The co-op work terms, built into the four-year degree, let you apply management skills in real sports and recreation settings while you study.
