| What it is | This program combines the study of conflicts, human rights law, and social policy across economics, politics, and interdisciplinary fields. You'll analyze how economic systems, political institutions, and policy decisions affect human rights and create or resolve conflicts. The co-op requirement means you'll alternate between classroom learning and paid work terms at organizations dealing with these issues, giving you practical experience alongside theory. | You study how money, markets, and resources work in society, learning to analyze economic data and understand policy decisions that affect people's lives. You can focus on general economics, combine it with political science, or specialize in resource and environmental economics if you have stronger math and science preparation. This suits people curious about why economies function as they do and who want practical skills in financial analysis or policy work. | You study how people and societies should organize themselves, and what makes choices right or wrong. Ethics and political philosophy blend thinking about moral principles with questions about power, justice, law, and governance. This program suits students who want to understand the foundations of politics and ethics through careful argument and debate rather than through policy work or management training. | You enter this program without committing to a specific major, taking first-year courses across subjects like English, history, psychology, philosophy, and sociology. This gives you time to explore different areas of arts study before declaring a focus at the end of year one, rather than applying directly to a named program. It suits students who are interested in humanities and social sciences but unsure which direction fits them best. |
