What you study	Psychology	Education Studies Sport & Exercise Science	Education Studies Psychology
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 how to teach physical education and health to high school students, combining education theory with the science of human movement and fitness. Unlike a standard bachelor of education, this concurrent program integrates your teaching credentials with specialized knowledge in exercise physiology and sport science from the start, so you graduate ready to teach those specific subjects. This suits people who want to coach or teach PE/health at the secondary level and prefer learning subject content alongside teaching methods rather than studying them separately.	This program combines the study of how people learn with the design and use of technology to support that learning. You'll take courses in both education and psychology to understand learning theory, then apply it to educational tools and digital platforms. It suits people interested in education who want to focus on the technology side rather than classroom teaching.
