| What it is | Social Sciences is the study of how people, societies, and economies work — covering everything from politics and law to anthropology and economics. Unlike a specialist program in one subject, this degree lets you combine courses across multiple disciplines so you can explore what interests you most. It suits students curious about human behaviour, culture, institutions, and social change who want flexibility to discover their focus before committing to a narrow path. | Geography is the study of Earth's physical systems — landforms, climate, water — and how humans interact with their environment and each other across space. You'll combine field research, data analysis using mapping technology, and social analysis to understand everything from urban development to environmental change. This program includes a co-op work term, giving you paid workplace experience alongside your studies. | This program combines arts courses — drawn from fields like English, history, economics, and creative writing — with business studies to prepare you for careers that value both analytical and communication skills. The co-op option lets you alternate study terms with paid work placements at real companies, giving you experience before you graduate. It suits students who want a broader education than straight business but need practical skills for the job market. | An Honours BA in Arts lets you study humanities and social sciences subjects like English, anthropology, economics, drama, and creative writing over four years. You choose your own combination of courses rather than following a single fixed major, giving you flexibility to explore multiple disciplines. This program suits students curious about human culture, expression, and society who want broad knowledge across several fields before deciding on a specialization. |

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
