What it is	You study how to help people and communities solve social problems by combining practical social work skills with an understanding of policy and systems. This four-year program prepares you to work directly with clients — individuals, families, or groups facing poverty, abuse, mental health challenges, or other hardships — while also learning how social policies shape these issues. It suits people who want hands-on helping work but also care about the larger systems and laws that affect people's lives.	This program combines a degree in the social sciences with professional training as a social worker. You study human behaviour, social policy, and sociology in the first part, then move into specialized social work practice and ethics. It suits people who want both a broad understanding of society and the credentials to work directly with individuals, families, and communities facing challenges.	This is a degree in psychology — the study of human behaviour, thinking, and mental health — with mandatory work placements built into your studies. You'll alternate between semesters of classroom learning and paid terms working in psychology-related settings like clinics, schools, or social agencies, giving you real experience before you graduate. It suits people interested in understanding why people act and think the way they do, and who want to test that interest through actual work before committing to a psychology career.
