What you study	Psychology	Chemistry Interdisciplinary Studies Music	Biological Sciences Interdisciplinary Studies Music
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 chemistry and music together over five years instead of the usual four. Chemistry covers atoms, reactions, and lab work; music covers performance, theory, and composition. This program suits people genuinely interested in both fields who want a full degree in each, not just a minor or elective courses alongside a major.	You study both music and biology as full degree programs over five years instead of the usual four. This double degree means you earn two separate degrees — one in each subject — rather than majoring in one and minoring in the other. It suits people who are genuinely committed to both fields and want advanced training in each, not those looking for an easier path or trying to keep options casually open.
