What it is	You study the fundamentals of running a business: accounting, finance, human resources, and strategy, along with emerging areas like artificial intelligence and entrepreneurship. This co-op program alternates classroom learning with paid work terms at real companies, giving you practical experience alongside your degree. It suits people who want hands-on business skills and prefer learning by doing rather than pure theory.	This program teaches you economic theory and financial practice together — how money moves through systems, markets behave, and organizations manage their finances. Unlike a pure economics degree, you spend significant time on applied finance: investment decisions, corporate finance, and financial analysis. It suits people who want to understand both the big economic picture and the practical side of managing money.	You study how businesses make money and financial decisions, combining economics, accounting, and management. This program includes a mandatory work placement period where you alternate between classroom and paid internships in real companies, letting you apply what you learn while building experience. It suits students who want practical business skills alongside theory and prefer learning on the job as much as in lectures.
