| What it is | You study how humans behave and think, combining psychology (the science of the mind and behaviour) with anthropology (the study of human cultures and societies). This pairing lets you explore both individual psychology and the broader social and cultural contexts that shape how people act. It suits people curious about why humans do what they do, from personal relationships to entire societies. | You study how power, politics, and social systems shape gender and women's experiences, combining feminist theory with political analysis. Unlike a straight political science program, you examine how gender operates across institutions, law, and society rather than treating it as a side topic. This suits you if you're interested in social justice, policy work, or understanding how political systems affect different groups. | You study how crime happens, how the criminal justice system works, and why people break laws. The program draws on forensics, psychology, sociology, and law to examine crime from multiple angles rather than focusing on just one discipline. It suits students interested in understanding criminal behaviour and the justice system who want a broad foundation before deciding whether to pursue police work, victim services, legal studies, or social policy. |
