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 program examines how gender and sex shape society, history, culture, and power across different fields like sociology, social work, and other disciplines. Unlike a straight sociology degree, it centres gender and feminist perspectives as the main lens for understanding social issues. It suits students interested in understanding inequality and social change, especially those drawn to activism, policy work, or community-based careers.You study how power, politics, and social systems shape gender and women's experiences, combining feminist theory with political analysis. Unlike a straight political science program, you examine how gender operates across institutions, law, and society rather than treating it as a side topic. This suits you if you're interested in social justice, policy work, or understanding how political systems affect different groups.
