What it is	This is a combined undergraduate and law degree program that lets you study a humanities or social science subject alongside a professional law degree. Unlike a standard BA followed by separate law school, you complete both degrees together in an integrated path, earning a BA/LLB. It suits students who want a broader educational foundation in fields like English, archaeology, or communication studies while training to become a lawyer, rather than focusing only on law from the start.	This is a broad science degree where you choose from fields like biology, chemistry, physics, computer science, geology, and others. You take foundational science courses in first year, then specialize by selecting which science subjects to focus on. Co-op is available, letting you do paid work terms at science-related employers alongside your studies.
