What you study	Psychology	Interdisciplinary Studies International Development Media and Communication Studies Psychology	Interdisciplinary Studies Journalism Media and Communication Studies Politics
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.	This program explores how religious belief, moral reasoning, and justice shape society and human behaviour. You study theology, ethics, psychology, and communication across four years, drawing on multiple disciplines to understand faith-based approaches to global problems. It suits students interested in how spirituality and values connect to social change, international work, or helping professions.	This program combines the study of how people and institutions communicate with the analysis of political systems and power. You'll take courses in both media studies and politics, learning how messages shape public opinion and policy. It suits students interested in understanding the relationship between communication and government, or who want careers in political communications, journalism, or policy analysis.
