What it is	Psychology is the study of human behaviour and mental processes, from how people think and learn to why they act the way they do. The BA focuses on broader social and cultural angles while the BSc emphasises the biological and scientific side, including research methods and statistics. This program suits you if you're curious about why people do what they do and want either a flexible foundation in the subject or a stronger grounding in science.	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.
