What it is	Critical Criminology examines why crimes happen and how criminal justice systems work, focusing on how power, inequality, and social structures shape both crime and punishment. Unlike traditional criminology, which mainly studies criminal behaviour itself, this program questions whether laws and enforcement are fair and who benefits from the current system. It suits students interested in understanding crime as a social problem rather than just studying offenders.	You study crime, law enforcement, and the justice system from both legal and social science angles. This program combines criminology — understanding why crime happens and how society responds — with practical law knowledge, rather than being pure law school preparation. The co-op work terms mean you gain real experience in courts, police services, or justice agencies alongside your classroom learning, which suits people who want hands-on exposure to the field before committing to further specialization.	You study how physical activity, sport, and exercise affect human health and performance, plus how to design and manage recreation and wellness programs. Unlike a pure exercise science program, this degree balances the science side with practical skills in running fitness facilities, community programs, and leisure services. It suits people who want to combine their interest in fitness and health with careers in coaching, program management, or public health promotion.
