| What it is | You study how to help people and communities solve social problems — poverty, family conflict, mental health, abuse — through practical counselling, advocacy, and resource connection. This degree trains you specifically for the profession of social work, meaning you learn both theory and hands-on skills, with placement experience in real agencies. It suits people who want to work directly with vulnerable people and aren't looking for a research-focused or policy-only path. | 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 teaches you how people think, behave, and interact — the science behind psychology. You'll study psychological theories and research methods alongside related fields like sociology and social work, giving you a broad understanding of human behaviour and society. It suits students curious about why people do what they do and interested in careers involving counselling, research, or social services. |
