What you study	Psychology	Health Informatics International Development Social Policy	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.	Global Health is a science degree that combines the study of health systems, data analysis, and policy with real-world development work across different countries. You learn how health issues connect to poverty, education, and government decisions, and you use technology to solve health problems in low-resource settings. Co-op work terms let you gain international experience while studying, making this a good fit if you want to work on health challenges beyond Canada.	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.
