| What you study | Law & Criminology | Interdisciplinary StudiesPhilosophyPolitics |
| 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 how people should live together, focusing on moral reasoning and political systems. Ethics examines what is right and wrong; political philosophy explores how governments should be organized and what justice means. This program suits you if you want to think critically about values, laws, and society rather than train for a specific profession, and if you're comfortable with reading, writing, and debating complex ideas. |

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.
