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, criminal behaviour, and the justice system — what causes people to commit crimes, how police and courts respond, and how society prevents and punishes offences. Unlike a law degree, this focuses on understanding crime itself rather than practising as a lawyer. It suits people interested in criminology, criminal justice work, or social science research who want a broad foundation before specializing further.	This program teaches you how law works in society and how crime fits into legal systems, without requiring you to go to law school. Unlike a specialized criminology degree, it keeps law and criminal justice equally central throughout. It suits students interested in how courts, police, and rules actually function, or who want a foundation before deciding whether to pursue law professionally.	A degree in linguistics, language and society teaches you how languages work, how people use them, and what role language plays in culture and society. You'll study subjects like how languages change over time, how brains process speech, and how language connects to history, law, and Indigenous cultures. The iBA version requires you to spend a year studying abroad in a French-speaking environment, giving you immersion in language learning alongside your coursework. This program suits people curious about communication, cultural diversity, and how language shapes human experience.
