What it is	You study how businesses make money and financial decisions, combining economics, accounting, and management. This program includes a mandatory work placement period where you alternate between classroom and paid internships in real companies, letting you apply what you learn while building experience. It suits students who want practical business skills alongside theory and prefer learning on the job as much as in lectures.	This is a two-year applied business program covering accounting, finance, management, and economics fundamentals. Unlike a four-year bachelor's degree, it gets you working faster with practical skills employers want immediately. It suits students who want hands-on business training without the length or theory-heavy focus of a university degree.	You study core business subjects like accounting, finance, marketing, and human resources, alongside economics and psychology. This program includes a co-op stream, meaning you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at companies, giving you real workplace experience alongside your degree. It suits people who want practical business skills and prefer learning by doing, not just theory.
