What you study	Law & Criminology Politics Social Policy	African Studies Anthropology Comparative Literary Studies Economics	Agriculture Anthropology Archaeology Business Studies
What it is	You study the causes of crime, how the criminal justice system works, and the policies governments use to address crime and social issues. This honours program includes a mandatory co-op placement, so you alternate between classroom learning and paid work terms in law enforcement, courts, policy offices, or related organizations. It suits people interested in understanding crime prevention and criminal law from a policy angle, especially those who want practical workplace experience alongside their degree.	This program lets you study how societies, economies, and cultures interact across borders, drawing from fields like history, anthropology, economics, and international development. You'll examine global issues through multiple lenses rather than specializing in one discipline. It suits students curious about world affairs and international problems who want flexibility to explore different approaches before deciding on a deeper focus.	You study arts subjects alongside business fundamentals in a joint-major degree. This combines the breadth of humanities and social sciences with business skills like finance, management, and organizational thinking, rather than letting you focus on just one. It suits people who want a flexible foundation for careers that blend analytical and communication skills across diverse fields.
