What it is	You study how to create and produce media across film, photography, writing, and design, learning both the technical skills and creative thinking behind what you see on screens and in print. Unlike a pure communication theory program, this one emphasizes hands-on production and design work alongside studying media's role in society. It suits people who want to make things, not just analyze them, and who enjoy combining visual, written, and conceptual work.	Film Studies teaches you how to analyze movies, television, and visual media critically, plus how to create your own films and photographs. You'll study both the technical and artistic sides of filmmaking, from cinematography to storytelling. This program suits people who want to understand how media shapes culture and who are interested in working behind or in front of the camera.	You study drama, fine art, and music together, exploring creative expression across all three disciplines rather than choosing one. This program combines artistic training with a focus on how creative practices can support mental health and wellbeing in communities. It suits people who want to make art their path but also care about its impact on people and society.	This program combines studies in how media, film, and communication work across journalism, photography, drama, and fine art. Unlike a general communications degree, it integrates hands-on creative production with critical analysis of how stories and images shape audiences. Co-op placements let you work in newsrooms, production studios, or media organizations while studying. It suits people who want to understand both the creative and technical sides of storytelling across different mediums.
