What it isYou study political systems, government, and law together, starting with foundational courses in politics and criminology before moving toward law-focused courses in later years. This combines subjects rather than being a full law degree, so it prepares you for law school or careers in legal fields without the professional legal qualification itself. It suits students interested in how laws and governments work who want to explore the field before committing to law school.This program combines the study of how young people develop and behave with the study of how society works and institutions function. You'll examine topics like family dynamics, education systems, social inequality, and policy that affects children and youth, drawing on psychology and social work perspectives. It suits students who want to understand people and social structures in depth before moving into careers like social work, education, counselling, or community development.You study how crime happens, why people commit crimes, and how the justice system responds through law, sociology, and social work. This program includes a mandatory co-op work term, giving you real experience in courts, police services, or community justice organizations alongside your classroom learning. It suits people curious about crime and the legal system who want both theory and hands-on workplace experience before graduating.
