What you study	Law & Criminology Politics Social Policy	Politics Social Policy	Interdisciplinary Studies Politics Social Policy
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.	You study how governments work, political systems, and social policies that affect people's lives. The co-op requirement means you'll spend alternating school and work terms at organizations involved in politics, policy, or public affairs, giving you real-world experience alongside your coursework. This suits people who want to understand politics deeply and test whether a career in government, advocacy, or policy work fits them.	This four-year combined degree integrates the study of conflict, human rights, security, and defence policy across social science and humanities perspectives. Unlike separate bachelor's and master's programs, you complete both degrees as one continuous stream, allowing you to move quickly from foundational concepts to advanced research and analysis. It suits students interested in understanding international relations, peace-building, or policy work who want deeper expertise than a single undergraduate degree provides.
