What it is	You study the social systems, policies, and psychology behind why people struggle — poverty, mental health, family breakdown — and learn to help them through direct support work and advocacy. This program awards both a university degree and a Social Service Worker diploma, so you graduate certified for entry-level positions in shelters, community agencies, and schools right away. It suits people drawn to hands-on helping work who want practical credentials alongside academic learning.	This program combines the study of economics and political science, so you learn how money, markets, and government systems work together in society. Unlike taking these subjects separately, you examine them as interconnected fields — how policy decisions affect economies and vice versa. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom study and paid work terms, giving you real-world experience in government, policy organizations, or research institutions. This suits people curious about social issues who want both theory and practical skills.
