What it is	You study how language works in real conversations and across different cultures, combining practical speech science with fluency in French or Spanish. Unlike a straight language degree, you learn the science behind how people communicate and understand each other across cultural boundaries. This suits people who want language skills tied to how humans actually use them, rather than pure translation or literature focus.	This program explores how religious belief, moral reasoning, and justice shape society and human behaviour. You study theology, ethics, psychology, and communication across four years, drawing on multiple disciplines to understand faith-based approaches to global problems. It suits students interested in how spirituality and values connect to social change, international work, or helping professions.	This program combines the study of international affairs and modern languages, so you analyse global politics, development, and cross-cultural issues while building fluency in at least one foreign language. Unlike a straight language degree, you focus on how languages connect to real-world international problems and policy. The co-op component means you alternate between classroom and paid work terms with governments, NGOs, or international organizations. It suits people who want language skills tied to global careers rather than language study alone.
