What it is	A Bachelor of Arts in Psychology teaches you how people think, behave, and interact with each other. You'll study topics like memory, personality, mental health, and human development through lectures, lab work, and research. This broad arts degree gives you flexibility to combine psychology with other subjects, unlike professional programs that lead directly to licensed practice like clinical psychology.	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 combines the study of human behaviour and mental processes with the scientific investigation of crime scenes and evidence. Unlike a standalone psychology degree, you learn how psychological principles apply to criminal investigation, witness testimony, and offender profiling. It suits students interested in understanding both the mind and the practical forensic techniques used in criminal justice.
