What it is	You study political systems, government, and law together, starting with foundational courses in politics and criminology before moving toward law-focused courses in later years. This combines subjects rather than being a full law degree, so it prepares you for law school or careers in legal fields without the professional legal qualification itself. It suits students interested in how laws and governments work who want to explore the field before committing to law school.	Graphic Communications Management teaches you to manage the creative and business sides of visual design projects. You study design principles alongside marketing, business strategy, and media production so you can lead teams that create everything from branding to advertising campaigns. It suits people who want to combine artistic thinking with management responsibility, rather than focusing only on design or only on business.	Professional Translation is a program where you study how to translate texts, documents, and media between English and French at an advanced level. Unlike a general language degree, it focuses specifically on translation skills and techniques across different fields like business, law, media, and literature. It suits people who are fluent in both English and French and want to turn that skill into a career.
