What you study	Law & Criminology Politics Social Policy	Philosophy 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.	This one-year part-time certificate teaches you to think critically about real ethical problems in today's society, from politics and social policy to justice and human rights. Unlike a full philosophy degree, it focuses tightly on contemporary issues rather than the history of philosophical ideas. It suits people working full-time who want to deepen their moral reasoning skills and understand the values underlying current debates.
