| 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. | You study psychology combined with applied health sciences — how human behaviour, biology, and social factors shape health and illness. Unlike a straight psychology program, this stream emphasizes practical health applications and the ability to work across healthcare and social systems. The co-op option lets you work in healthcare settings, clinics, or community agencies while studying. It suits students interested in both understanding the mind and applying that knowledge to real health problems. | You study how the mind and body work together, and how social and environmental factors shape health. This program pairs psychology courses with practical training in areas like human biology, health policy, and social work. The co-op option lets you do paid work terms at healthcare or research settings alongside your studies. It suits people curious about mental health, public health, or how systems support people's wellbeing. | Cognitive science studies how the mind works by combining insights from psychology, biology, computer science, linguistics, and philosophy. This non-honours version gives you a broader survey of these fields rather than the deeper specialization of an honours degree, so you spend less time on advanced research methods and theory. It suits students curious about how thinking, language, and brain function connect, who want flexibility to explore multiple disciplines without committing to one. |
