| What it is | You study how societies should be organized and governed, combining philosophy, law, politics, and social policy to explore questions about justice, rights, and ethical decision-making. Unlike a straight philosophy or political science program, this one deliberately weaves together multiple disciplines to help you see how abstract moral principles connect to real laws and policies. It suits people who want to think deeply about how the world should work and aren't content with single-subject answers. | You enter this program without committing to a specific major, taking first-year courses across subjects like English, history, psychology, philosophy, and sociology. This gives you time to explore different areas of arts study before declaring a focus at the end of year one, rather than applying directly to a named program. It suits students who are interested in humanities and social sciences but unsure which direction fits them best. | Social Sciences is the study of how people, societies, and economies work. You choose from nine subject areas including anthropology, economics, history, law, geography, politics, and sociology, and can combine them however you want rather than following one fixed path. This program suits students curious about human behaviour, institutions, and the world around them who want flexibility to explore multiple disciplines before specializing. |
