What it is	Psychology is the study of how people think, feel, and behave — from memory and learning to relationships and mental health. A BA focuses on theory and research methods rather than clinical training, so you'll read studies, run experiments, and write essays more than you would in applied health programs. It suits students curious about human nature who want a broad foundation before deciding whether to specialize later in counselling, research, business, or other fields.	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.	A Bachelor of Arts is a four-year degree where you study humanities and social sciences — subjects like English, history, psychology, anthropology, or environmental studies. You choose a major (or sometimes two) and take courses across different disciplines to build broad knowledge alongside deep expertise in your chosen area. This program suits students curious about understanding human culture, society, language, and ideas, who want flexibility to explore different fields before specializing.
