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 children grow up and how society shapes their experiences, drawing on education and sociology. You'll examine childhood from multiple angles: schools, families, peer groups, and social systems. If you choose the co-op option, you'll alternate between classroom study and paid work terms with organizations serving young people, giving you practical experience alongside theory. This program suits people interested in education, child development, or social issues who want both academic understanding and workplace learning.	You enter this program without committing to a specific major, taking first-year courses across subjects like English, history, psychology, philosophy, and sociology. This gives you time to explore different areas of arts study before declaring a focus at the end of year one, rather than applying directly to a named program. It suits students who are interested in humanities and social sciences but unsure which direction fits them best.
