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.	You enter this program without committing to a specific major, taking first-year courses across subjects like English, history, psychology, philosophy, and sociology. This gives you time to explore different areas of arts study before declaring a focus at the end of year one, rather than applying directly to a named program. It suits students who are interested in humanities and social sciences but unsure which direction fits them best.	Social Sciences is the study of how people, societies, and economies work. You choose from nine subject areas including anthropology, economics, history, law, geography, politics, and sociology, and can combine them however you want rather than following one fixed path. This program suits students curious about human behaviour, institutions, and the world around them who want flexibility to explore multiple disciplines before specializing.	A Bachelor of Arts is a three-year undergraduate degree where you study humanities and social sciences rather than sciences or professional fields. You choose a major from subjects like English, history, philosophy, or geography, and take electives across the range offered. It suits students who want broad knowledge in how people, societies, and ideas work, without committing to a specific career path at the start.
