| What it is | This program combines the study of media, communication, and information technology — learning how messages are created, shared, and understood across digital and traditional platforms alongside practical IT skills. The co-op requirement means you alternate between classroom terms and paid work placements in media, tech, or communications companies, giving you real industry experience alongside your degree. It suits students interested in how technology shapes storytelling and public conversation, who want hands-on workplace experience before graduating. | Civil engineering teaches you how to design, build, and maintain infrastructure like bridges, roads, dams, and water systems. You'll study structural mechanics, materials, surveying, and environmental impact alongside math and physics. This program includes a mandatory co-op placement, so you'll work on real projects while you study, which suits people who learn best by doing and want practical experience before graduation. |
