| What it is | You study how people communicate through digital platforms, traditional media, and written content, combining journalism, creative writing, and media analysis with business and economics foundations. Unlike a pure journalism program, this combines multiple communication disciplines and requires hands-on digital media production alongside theory. It suits people who want to work in digital marketing, publishing, broadcasting, or content creation and value gaining real workplace experience during their degree. | 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. | This program teaches you how media and communication work across multiple platforms — from journalism and photography to marketing and design. You'll study both the theory behind how messages reach audiences and the practical skills to create them yourself. It suits people who want to understand media industries from the inside and are ready to work across different formats rather than specializing in just one. | You study how people communicate and influence each other through media, advertising, journalism, and marketing. This program blends theory from multiple disciplines — sociology, psychology, media studies — rather than focusing on just one communication skill. It suits students interested in how messages shape society and who want flexible options across journalism, public relations, advertising, and media industries. |
