| What it is | 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. | You study how the mind affects athletic performance and how sport influences mental health and behaviour. This combines psychology courses with exercise science, so you learn both the theory of human behaviour and how it applies specifically to athletes and fitness. It suits people interested in both psychology and sport who want to work with athletes, coaches, or in fitness and wellness settings. | Cognitive science is the study of how the mind works — combining psychology, philosophy, linguistics, and computer science to understand thinking, language, and behaviour. This program lets you choose a co-op option, placing you in paid work terms with employers in neuroscience, tech, or research fields alongside your courses. It suits people curious about both how brains function and how that knowledge applies in real jobs. | You study how language works in the mind and how people use it to communicate and think. This combined program pairs psychology — the study of human behaviour and mental processes — with linguistics, which examines the structure and use of language itself. It suits students curious about the overlap between how brains work and how language shapes our thoughts and interactions. |
