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.	This program prepares you to work directly with children and young people who face challenges like trauma, behavioural issues, or family instability. You study psychology and sociology to understand how people develop and what shapes their choices, then learn hands-on skills for supporting and guiding kids in schools, group homes, hospitals, and community agencies. It suits people who want practical caregiving work rather than classroom teaching or clinical therapy.	This program combines the study of how young people develop and behave with the study of how society works and institutions function. You'll examine topics like family dynamics, education systems, social inequality, and policy that affects children and youth, drawing on psychology and social work perspectives. It suits students who want to understand people and social structures in depth before moving into careers like social work, education, counselling, or community development.
