Psychology explores the thoughts, feelings, and actions of individuals and groups in a social and cultural context. The goal of psychology is to understand, describe, and predict behaviour. It helps people understand more about themselves and others.

Psychology is the systematic study of behaviour, cognition and experience. It is a social science dealing with emotions, individual differences, behaviour, and relationships. It is also a biological science, examining the neurophysiological basis of learning and performance, as well as sensory and perceptual skills. As a profession, psychology is dedicated to the promotion of human welfare.

Religions are among the most influential forces shaping the human experience, both in the past and in the present. Without some insight into diverse religious traditions, it is not possible to understand today's world or to prepare adequately for tomorrow's.

New Zealand society, politics, education, and the arts continue to be influenced by the Judeo-Christian tradition while increasingly being affected by other traditions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam. Globally, religion often functions as the principal source of individual and communal identity, answering questions about meaning and purpose, morality and freedom, responsibility and happiness.

Religious Studies investigates religions critically but with empathy, seeking to appreciate the role of religion in society and the perspectives of religious believers. It differs from theology in that it is not grounded in any particular religious tradition but deals even-handedly with religions found throughout the world. Religious Studies complements other subjects such as history, philosophy, classics, politics, anthropology, and literature.

Social Anthropology is the study of the relationship between human beings and culture. It gives you a deeper understanding of cultural variation and cultural change, and it allows you to better understand your own culture as one among many possible ways of being human.

Social (or cultural) anthropologists seek to understand cultural differences and the many ways people maintain and change culture in response to new social contexts. Social anthropologists bring a comparative approach to the description and analysis of society based on fieldwork that extends across the globe, from hunter-gatherers to industrial nation-states.

The contemporary environment provides numerous complex and multifaceted challenges to security that will undoubtedly continue in the future. These challenges include not only traditional interstate conflict, but also the potential threat of the spread of nuclear weapons, issues such as internecine disputes linked to religious differences, the control over and exploitation of scarce resources, and the impact of globalisation and environmental change.

Management of threats to security is likely to be an important dimension of government and public policy in the foreseeable future. If you are interested in modern local and global security issues, a major in Security Studies will enable you to gain knowledge in this area.
