What it isYou 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.Life Sciences is a broad study of living organisms, their cells, genetics, and chemistry at the molecular level. You'll take core courses in biology, chemistry, and biochemistry, then choose a focus like microbiology, biotechnology, or human biology depending on your interests. The co-op option lets you alternate between school and paid work terms in research labs, hospitals, or biotech companies, giving you real experience alongside your degree.
