What it is	You study how education works — teaching methods, learning science, school systems, and the social side of how people learn — rather than training to teach in a classroom. This program includes co-op work terms where you gain real experience in schools and education settings alongside your coursework. It suits students curious about education as a field of study who want hands-on experience before deciding whether to pursue teaching, educational leadership, or other education-related careers.	You study how crime happens, how the criminal justice system works, and why people break laws. The program draws on forensics, psychology, sociology, and law to examine crime from multiple angles rather than focusing on just one discipline. It suits students interested in understanding criminal behaviour and the justice system who want a broad foundation before deciding whether to pursue police work, victim services, legal studies, or social policy.	You study crime, law, and social systems while learning practical skills in either community support or policing. The program combines a university degree in justice studies with a hands-on diploma, so you graduate qualified for immediate work in either field rather than just having theoretical knowledge. This suits people who want to work in criminal justice, victim support, or law enforcement and prefer learning by doing alongside classroom study.
