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.	You study human behaviour, thinking, and emotion from scientific and practical angles. This is a general psychology degree rather than a professional program leading to a specific credential like counselling psychology. It suits students curious about why people act and think as they do, and who want broad grounding in psychological theory before deciding on specialized work in mental health, research, or human services.	You earn two degrees at once: one in science (you pick a major like biology, computer science, or data science) and one in commerce (business and economics). This combined program lets you graduate with credentials in both fields rather than choosing one or the other. It suits students who want scientific or technical expertise plus business knowledge for careers that need both, like environmental consulting, tech entrepreneurship, or data analysis in industry.
