What it is	This program combines the study of international affairs and modern languages, so you analyse global politics, development, and cross-cultural issues while building fluency in at least one foreign language. Unlike a straight language degree, you focus on how languages connect to real-world international problems and policy. The co-op component means you alternate between classroom and paid work terms with governments, NGOs, or international organizations. It suits people who want language skills tied to global careers rather than language study alone.	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.	This program explores how religious belief, moral reasoning, and justice shape society and human behaviour. You study theology, ethics, psychology, and communication across four years, drawing on multiple disciplines to understand faith-based approaches to global problems. It suits students interested in how spirituality and values connect to social change, international work, or helping professions.
