What it isYou study science and law together in one integrated degree, rather than choosing one or the other. This combines courses in biology, chemistry, and physics with legal studies and criminology, giving you broad background in both fields. It suits people drawn to science who also want to understand law and regulation, or who are exploring whether a legal career in science-related areas appeals to them.You study education and arts together while you train to teach French at the middle and high school level. Unlike a straight education degree, this program embeds your subject-area coursework in arts and social sciences alongside your teaching methods training, so you graduate ready to teach French plus another subject. It suits people who want to teach languages and are comfortable studying education theory and practice from day one.Social Sciences I is a first-year entry point where you explore human behaviour, society, and social systems through subjects like economics, sociology, anthropology, politics, and social work. Unlike a specialized program, you sample multiple disciplines before declaring a focus, letting you discover which area — from international development to health policy — matches your interests. It suits students curious about how societies work and drawn to understanding people and social issues from different angles.
