What it is	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.	You study the social systems, policies, and psychology behind why people struggle — poverty, mental health, family breakdown — and learn to help them through direct support work and advocacy. This program awards both a university degree and a Social Service Worker diploma, so you graduate certified for entry-level positions in shelters, community agencies, and schools right away. It suits people drawn to hands-on helping work who want practical credentials alongside academic learning.	This program teaches you how health systems, policies, and technology work across different countries and communities. You study international development, social policy, and health informatics — how data and technology shape healthcare delivery worldwide. The co-op option lets you work for four to eight months at a health organization while earning course credit, giving you real experience alongside classroom learning. It suits people who want to understand global health challenges and see how policy and technology can address them.	You study psychology combined with applied health sciences — how human behaviour, biology, and social factors shape health and illness. Unlike a straight psychology program, this stream emphasizes practical health applications and the ability to work across healthcare and social systems. The co-op option lets you work in healthcare settings, clinics, or community agencies while studying. It suits students interested in both understanding the mind and applying that knowledge to real health problems.
