What will I learn?
Law touches virtually every aspect of society. That makes a degree in Legal Studies great preparation for a career in government, business, the non profit sector, law enforcement, and (of course) law itself. At Waterloo, you’ll enjoy small classes led by highly respected researchers, giving you lots of opportunity for discussion, and you'll also have the opportunity to gain work experience through co op. Over the course of your Legal Studies undergraduate degree, you’ll explore the impact of law on society, the origins of legal systems, how the Charter of Rights and Freedoms creates change, and issues such as crime, deviance, punishment, and restorative justice. You’ll graduate with skills in research, problem solving, critical thinking, and communication, along with an in depth understanding of law and legal systems.
