What you study	Psychology	Forensic & Archaeological Sciences Psychology	Forensic & Archaeological Sciences Law & Criminology Politics Psychology
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.	This program combines the study of human behaviour and mental processes with the scientific investigation of crime scenes and evidence. Unlike a standalone psychology degree, you learn how psychological principles apply to criminal investigation, witness testimony, and offender profiling. It suits students interested in understanding both the mind and the practical forensic techniques used in criminal justice.	You study how crime happens, how the criminal justice system works, and why people break laws. The program draws on forensics, psychology, sociology, and law to examine crime from multiple angles rather than focusing on just one discipline. It suits students interested in understanding criminal behaviour and the justice system who want a broad foundation before deciding whether to pursue police work, victim services, legal studies, or social policy.
