What it is	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.	This program lets you design your own degree by combining courses from multiple fields — anthropology, chemistry, English, history, philosophy, law, media studies, and others — rather than following a single major. You choose which subjects to focus on and how much depth in each, creating a customized path that suits your interests. It works well if you're curious about several areas and want flexibility to explore across disciplines before committing to one specialization.	Social Sciences is the study of how people, societies, and economies work. You choose from nine subject areas including anthropology, economics, history, law, geography, politics, and sociology, and can combine them however you want rather than following one fixed path. This program suits students curious about human behaviour, institutions, and the world around them who want flexibility to explore multiple disciplines before specializing.
