| What it is | This one-year part-time certificate teaches you to think critically about real ethical problems in today's society, from politics and social policy to justice and human rights. Unlike a full philosophy degree, it focuses tightly on contemporary issues rather than the history of philosophical ideas. It suits people working full-time who want to deepen their moral reasoning skills and understand the values underlying current debates. | This program combines the study of how young people develop and behave with the study of how society works and institutions function. You'll examine topics like family dynamics, education systems, social inequality, and policy that affects children and youth, drawing on psychology and social work perspectives. It suits students who want to understand people and social structures in depth before moving into careers like social work, education, counselling, or community development. | You study education and arts together while you train to teach French at the middle and high school level. Unlike a straight education degree, this program embeds your subject-area coursework in arts and social sciences alongside your teaching methods training, so you graduate ready to teach French plus another subject. It suits people who want to teach languages and are comfortable studying education theory and practice from day one. |
