| What it is | Criminologie is a four-year degree in which you study crime, criminal behaviour, and the justice system — how crimes happen, why people commit them, and how society responds. Unlike a law degree, it focuses on the social science side of criminal justice rather than training you to be a lawyer. It suits people interested in understanding crime from psychological, sociological, and policy angles, whether they're considering careers in policing, corrections, victim services, or criminal justice research. | You study creative writing, journalism, and media communication — how to write stories, report news, and create content across different platforms. This co-op program requires you to work terms in actual creative or media companies, so you alternate between school and paid work in the field. It suits people who want hands-on experience in writing and digital media before they finish their degree, not just classroom learning. |
