What it is	You study sociology — how people, groups, and societies work — but with a focus on solving real problems rather than just theory. You'll learn to analyze social issues like inequality, crime, and community development, then apply that knowledge to actual situations through projects and research. This suits people who want to understand human behaviour and social change while building practical skills for work in non-profit organizations, government, or social services.	Anthropology is the study of human cultures, societies, and how people live around the world — both now and in the past. You'll examine everything from language and belief systems to how communities organize themselves and adapt to their environments. This program suits people curious about why humans behave differently across societies and who want to understand cultural diversity on a deeper level.	This program combines the study of how societies work — through anthropology, politics, and social policy — with practical skills in starting and running social enterprises that solve community problems. Unlike a straight business degree, it focuses specifically on ventures designed for social impact rather than profit alone. It suits people who want to understand social change deeply and turn ideas into real projects that help communities.	You enter this program without committing to a specific major, taking first-year courses across subjects like English, history, psychology, philosophy, and sociology. This gives you time to explore different areas of arts study before declaring a focus at the end of year one, rather than applying directly to a named program. It suits students who are interested in humanities and social sciences but unsure which direction fits them best.
