What it is	You study both political science and law together in a single six-year program, rather than pursuing them separately. Political science teaches you how governments, institutions, and policies actually work; law gives you the training needed to become a lawyer, including courtroom procedures and legal reasoning. This combined stream suits people who want to understand politics deeply and work as lawyers in government, policy, or public interest law.	This program teaches you business and accounting skills alongside environmental sustainability — how companies manage money while reducing their ecological impact. Unlike a straight business degree, you study both financial management and environmental systems together, and co-op is mandatory, so you work in real companies for four months at a time throughout your degree. It suits people who want a career in business or finance but care about environmental responsibility and learn best by doing real work alongside classroom study.	You study business and law together in one integrated six-year program instead of pursuing them separately. You earn qualifications in both commercial sciences and law (Juris Doctor), which means you graduate ready to work in business law, corporate strategy, or general legal practice without taking law school as a separate step afterward. This suits people drawn to both business management and the legal system who want a faster path to combining those fields professionally.
