What it is	Disability Studies examines disability through social, psychological, and global perspectives rather than purely medical ones. You'll explore how societies structure opportunities and barriers for disabled people, how disability intersects with development work across countries, and the psychological dimensions of living with disability. This program suits students interested in social justice, international work, or advocacy who want to understand disability as a lived experience and systemic issue.	Social Sciences I is a first-year entry point where you explore human behaviour, society, and social systems through subjects like economics, sociology, anthropology, politics, and social work. Unlike a specialized program, you sample multiple disciplines before declaring a focus, letting you discover which area — from international development to health policy — matches your interests. It suits students curious about how societies work and drawn to understanding people and social issues from different angles.
