What you study	Law & Criminology	Accounting Anthropology Archaeology Biological Sciences	Accounting Business Studies Economics Finance
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 both business and science together as a combined honours degree, taking courses in fields like accounting, chemistry, computer science, or biology alongside business and economics. This differs from a straight business program because you develop scientific literacy and research skills, not just business knowledge. It suits people who want to understand how science and data work in real-world business contexts, or who haven't decided between these two interests yet.	A BBA is a four-year business degree where you study core topics like accounting, finance, marketing, and human resources alongside economics and general business strategy. Unlike some business programs, this one includes co-op work terms, meaning you alternate between classroom learning and paid jobs at companies, giving you real workplace experience before you graduate. It suits students who want a broad business foundation with hands-on learning and don't yet know which specific business path they'll take.
