What it is	General Humanities in Modern Languages lets you study foreign languages alongside literature, history, culture, and social sciences. Unlike a single-language specialist program, this combines breadth across multiple disciplines with language skills, so you build both fluency and deeper understanding of how language connects to society and culture. It suits students who want to work internationally or in cross-cultural fields but aren't yet certain about focusing on one language alone.	You study a combination of philosophy, modern languages, and translation, rather than specializing in just one field. This interdisciplinary approach lets you explore how these subjects connect and inform each other, building flexibility in how you think about language and meaning. It suits students who are curious across multiple areas and want breadth alongside depth before deciding on a specific direction.	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.
