The psychology sequence provides comprehensive coverage of psychology, including lifespan development, biological, social and abnormal psychology, individual differences, psychological and research methods, as well as other areas of applied psychology. The Exercise Science component focuses on the roles and benefits of exercise and healthy lifestyles in the contexts of elite sport, recreational physical activity as well as community health and wellbeing.
