| What you study | Law & Criminology | Creative WritingJournalismMedia and Communication Studies |
| What it is | You study crime, criminal behaviour, and the justice system — what causes people to commit crimes, how police and courts respond, and how society prevents and punishes offences. Unlike a law degree, this focuses on understanding crime itself rather than practising as a lawyer. It suits people interested in criminology, criminal justice work, or social science research who want a broad foundation before specializing further. | You study creative writing, journalism, and media communication — how to write stories, report news, and create content across different platforms. This co-op program requires you to work terms in actual creative or media companies, so you alternate between school and paid work in the field. It suits people who want hands-on experience in writing and digital media before they finish their degree, not just classroom learning. |

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
