What it isThis program combines a degree in criminal justice with teacher training, letting you study crime, law, and the justice system while also earning your teaching qualification. Unlike a sequential approach where you'd finish one degree then start another, you complete both simultaneously in four years. It suits people who want to teach high school subjects like law or social studies and bring real knowledge of the criminal justice system into the classroom.Life Sciences is a broad study of how living things work, from individual cells and genetics to whole organisms and ecosystems. You'll choose a focus area like microbiology, human biology, genetics, or plant science, and take courses across biology, chemistry, and related fields. The co-op option lets you alternate study terms with paid work placements in research labs, hospitals, or biotech companies, giving you real experience alongside your degree.You study the science of living things — from individual cells and genes to entire ecosystems and animal behaviour. The Environmental Science degree focuses on how organisms interact with their environment, while other options let you specialize in animal biology, plants, genetics, or microbiology. This program suits people curious about how life works and interested in careers ranging from conservation and wildlife management to research, teaching, or health sciences.
