What you study	Information Systems Information Technology Media and Communication StudiesOthers in Technology	Education Studies Environmental Studies Human GeographyPlanning	Drama Education Studies Media and Communication Studies
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.	This program trains you to teach high school while earning two degrees at once: a Bachelor of Education and a Bachelor's degree in environmental and urban change. Unlike a regular education degree, you study both teaching methods and a focused subject combining environmental science, geography, planning, and politics. It suits students who want to specialize in environmental or urban issues and pass that knowledge to students in a classroom.	You study acting, theatre production, and performance, with mandatory work placements built into your degree. The co-op requirement means you'll alternate between semesters in the classroom and paid or unpaid terms working in theatres, film sets, media companies, or community arts organizations. This program suits people who want practical experience alongside training in how theatre and drama work as art forms and communication tools.
