| What it is | This program combines biology, psychology, and neuroscience to study how the brain works, how we think and learn, and why we behave the way we do. You'll take courses in human anatomy, brain chemistry, and psychological science rather than focusing on just one discipline. It suits students curious about the science behind human behaviour and cognition who want a broad foundation before specializing in graduate study or careers in neuroscience, psychology, or health research. | Social Sciences I is a first-year entry point where you explore human behaviour, society, and social systems through subjects like economics, sociology, anthropology, politics, and social work. Unlike a specialized program, you sample multiple disciplines before declaring a focus, letting you discover which area — from international development to health policy — matches your interests. It suits students curious about how societies work and drawn to understanding people and social issues from different angles. | You enter this program without committing to a specific major, taking first-year courses across subjects like English, history, psychology, philosophy, and sociology. This gives you time to explore different areas of arts study before declaring a focus at the end of year one, rather than applying directly to a named program. It suits students who are interested in humanities and social sciences but unsure which direction fits them best. |
