What you study	Interdisciplinary Studies Politics Social Policy	Law & Criminology Politics Social Policy
What it is	You study how conflicts arise between groups and nations, and how human rights law and institutions work to prevent or resolve them. In your final years, you shift focus to security policy, military strategy, and defence issues at national and international levels. This combined degree suits people interested in diplomacy, international organizations, law, or government policy work who want exposure to both the rights and security sides of global politics.	You study the causes of crime, how the criminal justice system works, and the policies governments use to address crime and social issues. This honours program includes a mandatory co-op placement, so you alternate between classroom learning and paid work terms in law enforcement, courts, policy offices, or related organizations. It suits people interested in understanding crime prevention and criminal law from a policy angle, especially those who want practical workplace experience alongside their degree.
