What you studyPsychologyEducation StudiesSport & Exercise ScienceEducation StudiesPsychology
What it isPsychology 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.You study how young children develop and learn, combining education theory with psychology. Unlike a general education degree, this program focuses specifically on the early years — typically birth to age eight — and prepares you for work in childcare, preschools, or early intervention. It suits people who want to support children's growth during their most formative period and understand the thinking behind quality early childhood practice.
