What it isYou study the causes of crime, how people commit it, and how society responds through the justice system. This is a social science program rather than police or law training, and it combines criminology with sociology to help you understand crime from multiple angles. It suits people curious about why crime happens and how to address it, rather than those set on becoming lawyers or police officers.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.A Bachelor of Arts is a four-year degree where you study humanities and social sciences — subjects like English, history, psychology, anthropology, or environmental studies. You choose a major (or sometimes two) and take courses across different disciplines to build broad knowledge alongside deep expertise in your chosen area. This program suits students curious about understanding human culture, society, language, and ideas, who want flexibility to explore different fields before specializing.An Honours BA lets you specialize in one or more subjects from the humanities, sciences, and social sciences while building a broad education across different fields. You choose your major — such as English, Anthropology, Computer Science, or Creative Writing — and take courses in that area alongside electives that let you explore other disciplines. This program suits people who want depth in a subject they care about but also value exposure to different ways of thinking and fields of knowledge.
