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 the human mind works and how the brain produces behaviour, emotion, and thought. This program combines psychology — the study of behaviour and mental processes — with neuroscience, which looks at the brain's biology and chemistry. It suits people curious about why people think and act as they do, and who want to understand the physical basis of the mind.	This program combines education with psychology to train you to support students with learning disabilities, behavioural challenges, or mental health needs in school settings. Unlike a general education degree, it focuses specifically on how psychological understanding applies to special education and student wellbeing. It suits people who want to teach or work in schools but are drawn to helping students facing extra barriers to learning.	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.
