What it isYou study one modern language in depth — French, Spanish and Latin American culture, or Italian — alongside English literature and related humanities. Each stream lets you focus on the language itself, its literature, and the history and culture of regions where it's spoken. This suits you if you want genuine fluency in a second language combined with understanding of its cultural context, rather than a broad survey of multiple languages.You study how to teach English or French as a second language to students who don't speak it natively. The program combines education theory with deep study of the language itself, so you learn both teaching methods and the grammar and culture behind the language. This suits people who want to teach languages in schools and understand both how languages work and how people learn them.An Honours BA lets you specialize in one or more subjects from the humanities, sciences, and social sciences while building a broad education across different fields. You choose your major — such as English, Anthropology, Computer Science, or Creative Writing — and take courses in that area alongside electives that let you explore other disciplines. This program suits people who want depth in a subject they care about but also value exposure to different ways of thinking and fields of knowledge.A Business and Arts program combines study in two fields: one from business, accounting, or economics, and one from humanities or social sciences like English, anthropology, or environmental studies. Unlike a single-subject honours degree, you earn one honours diploma by completing substantial coursework in both areas rather than specializing deeply in one. This suits students who want broad knowledge across different disciplines and are curious about how business intersects with culture, society, or the environment.
