What you study	Architecture DesignLandscape & Garden Design	Design Entrepreneurship Fine Art
What it is	You study how to design and plan buildings and spaces within cities, combining architecture, landscape design, and urban planning. Unlike a straight architecture program, this degree emphasizes the relationship between individual structures and the wider urban environment — how buildings fit into neighbourhoods and cities. It suits people who want to design thoughtfully at multiple scales and who are interested in both creative problem-solving and how cities actually work.	Creative Technologies is a visual arts and design degree that combines fine art, graphic design, and digital media with entrepreneurship skills so you can develop creative work and understand how to turn ideas into projects or businesses. Unlike a straight fine arts program, it emphasizes the practical and business side of creative work. It suits people who want to make art or design but also care about how creative work reaches audiences and generates opportunity.
