What you study	Psychology	Education Studies Sport & Exercise Science	Education Studies Psychology
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 health to high school students, combining education theory with the science of human movement and fitness. Unlike a standard bachelor of education, this concurrent program integrates your teaching credentials with specialized knowledge in exercise physiology and sport science from the start, so you graduate ready to teach those specific subjects. This suits people who want to coach or teach PE/health at the secondary level and prefer learning subject content alongside teaching methods rather than studying them separately.	This program combines education and psychology to study how older adults learn and adapt to technology. You'll examine aging, cognition, and teaching methods designed for senior learners in a digital world. It suits students interested in gerontology, educational design, or supporting older people's digital literacy.
