| What it is | Criminology is the study of crime, criminal behaviour, and the justice system that responds to it. You'll examine why people commit crimes, how laws are enforced, and the social and psychological factors behind criminal activity. This program suits people interested in understanding crime from an academic angle rather than pursuing law or direct policing careers. | This certificate program examines crime and justice systems across different regions of the world — Asia, Europe, the Americas, and beyond. You study how legal systems, law enforcement, and crime vary by culture and geography rather than focusing on one country's approach. It suits people interested in international development, human rights, global policy work, or understanding criminal justice from a comparative angle. | Political Science is the study of how governments work, why people hold different political beliefs, and how societies make decisions about laws and power. This program lets you combine politics with related areas like international development, criminology, philosophy, or regional studies depending on your interests. It suits students curious about current events, policy-making, and understanding conflict and social change who want practical work experience alongside classroom learning. | This program lets you study how societies, economies, and cultures interact across borders, drawing from fields like history, anthropology, economics, and international development. You'll examine global issues through multiple lenses rather than specializing in one discipline. It suits students curious about world affairs and international problems who want flexibility to explore different approaches before deciding on a deeper focus. |
