What it is	You study English literature and language alongside comparative texts from other cultures and ancient languages. Unlike a straight English program, this one builds in cross-cultural perspectives, so you're reading works in translation and examining how stories and ideas travel across languages and time periods. It suits people who like close reading, cultural depth, and aren't intimidated by unfamiliar texts.	A Humanities degree lets you study how people think, communicate, and make meaning through language, philosophy, religion, and culture. You choose from areas like linguistics, classical studies, and theology, and can combine subjects in ways that suit your interests rather than following a single major track. The co-op option lets you complete paid work terms alongside your studies. This program suits people drawn to big questions about human society and meaning, who want flexibility in their coursework, or who value real-world experience mixed with classroom learning.	Cognitive science is the study of how the mind works — combining psychology, philosophy, linguistics, and computer science to understand thinking, language, and behaviour. This program lets you choose a co-op option, placing you in paid work terms with employers in neuroscience, tech, or research fields alongside your courses. It suits people curious about both how brains function and how that knowledge applies in real jobs.
