What you study	Law & Criminology	Law & Criminology
What it is	This four-year degree teaches you law and criminology through a liberal arts lens rather than training you to become a lawyer. You study legal systems, criminal justice, court processes, and social issues connected to crime and punishment, but you do not complete the professional courses required for law school or law practice. It suits people interested in how laws work and why crime happens, who want a broad university education rather than a narrow pathway to a specific legal profession.	You study crime, law enforcement, and the justice system from both legal and social science angles. This program combines criminology — understanding why crime happens and how society responds — with practical law knowledge, rather than being pure law school preparation. The co-op work terms mean you gain real experience in courts, police services, or justice agencies alongside your classroom learning, which suits people who want hands-on exposure to the field before committing to further specialization.
