| What it is | This program teaches you how economies work and how to manage money and investments at personal, business, and government levels. Unlike a straight economics program, it combines both fields so you study market behaviour alongside practical financial analysis and decision-making. It suits people who want to understand how money moves through the world and are interested in applying that knowledge to real careers in banking, policy, or corporate finance. | Social Science is a broad study of how people, societies, and economies work. You choose a focus like economics, anthropology, history, or business studies, then take courses across that field. Western offers this as either a BA or BSc depending on your focus, and you can do it with co-op, meaning you alternate between school terms and paid work placements in your field. | This program combines science courses with business studies, so you study both scientific subjects like chemistry, biology, or computer science alongside accounting, management, and economics. Unlike a straight science degree, you gain practical knowledge of how science-based industries operate and how to manage projects or companies. It suits students who want a science career but also care about the business side — whether that's starting a science company, managing research teams, or working in science-related industries. | A combined degree that lets you study both arts and commerce side by side, rather than picking one. You take courses in subjects like history, English, or environmental studies alongside business, accounting, and management courses. This dual approach suits students who want business skills and professional preparation but also value deeper knowledge in humanities or social sciences. |
