| What it is | You study how crime happens, how the criminal justice system works, and why people break laws. The program draws on forensics, psychology, sociology, and law to examine crime from multiple angles rather than focusing on just one discipline. It suits students interested in understanding criminal behaviour and the justice system who want a broad foundation before deciding whether to pursue police work, victim services, legal studies, or social policy. | This four-year degree teaches you law and criminology through a liberal arts lens rather than training you to become a lawyer. You study legal systems, criminal justice, court processes, and social issues connected to crime and punishment, but you do not complete the professional courses required for law school or law practice. It suits people interested in how laws work and why crime happens, who want a broad university education rather than a narrow pathway to a specific legal profession. | This three-year arts degree lets you study human and social issues from multiple angles — combining courses in psychology, sociology, management, and business. Unlike a specialized honours program, it gives you breadth across disciplines rather than depth in one field, so you can explore how people behave, organizations work, and societies function together. It suits students curious about people and society who want flexibility to discover their focus before committing to a specific major. |
