What it is	Psychology is the study of how people think, behave, and develop across their lifespan. At Windsor, you'll focus on real-world applications in areas like child development, disability support, and social work, with the option to complete paid work terms through the co-op program. This suits students who want to understand human behaviour while building practical experience in helping professions.	Life Sciences is a broad study of living organisms, their cells, genetics, and chemistry at the molecular level. You'll take core courses in biology, chemistry, and biochemistry, then choose a focus like microbiology, biotechnology, or human biology depending on your interests. The co-op option lets you alternate between school and paid work terms in research labs, hospitals, or biotech companies, giving you real experience alongside your degree.
