What it is	You study how human societies work and how to apply anthropology to solve crimes and investigate human remains. Unlike a straight anthropology degree, this program combines cultural and biological anthropology with forensic methods so you can learn practical investigation techniques alongside theory. It suits students interested in understanding human behaviour and material culture who also want hands-on training in how anthropology is used in criminal justice and archaeological contexts.	An Arts and Contemporary Studies program combines the study of human culture, communication, places, and how societies preserve and interpret their past. Unlike a straight humanities degree, this program emphasizes real-world application through optional co-op placements where you work in museums, media organizations, or cultural agencies alongside your studies. It suits students curious about how people live and communicate across different cultures and time periods, who want hands-on experience before deciding on a career path.	An Honours Arts degree lets you study humanities and social sciences in depth, choosing from subjects like history, English, anthropology, environmental studies, and others. Unlike a general arts degree, an honours program requires more advanced courses in your chosen major and typically demands higher academic performance. This program suits students who want to explore ideas across cultures, societies, and texts, and who are willing to commit to deeper study in at least one subject area.
