Get your UBC degree in psychology, the study of human and animal behaviour. Psychology explores diverse topics, from the factors involved in social interactions among individuals and groups, to the processes underlying the nervous system, to moral development in children and what gives us a sense of well-being.
A psychologist might assess and treat mental or behavioural problems, use observation and experimentation to research psychological processes, or advise corporations interested in increasing employee motivation and productivity. |
