What you study	Psychology	Psychology	Biological Sciences Biotechnology Genetics Human Biology
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 the human mind works and how the brain produces behaviour, emotion, and thought. This program combines psychology — the study of behaviour and mental processes — with neuroscience, which looks at the brain's biology and chemistry. It suits people curious about why people think and act as they do, and who want to understand the physical basis of the mind.	This program teaches you the science behind living systems — cells, genetics, microbes, and how drugs work in the body. You'll study biology and chemistry at a deeper level than in high school, with options to specialize in areas like biotechnology, pharmacology, or human health. It suits people curious about how organisms function and interested in careers in research, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, or environmental science.
