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.	International Studies is a degree where you combine courses from fields like economics, history, business, and development to understand global issues and how different countries interact. The iBA option includes a mandatory year abroad at a partner university, immersing you in another culture while continuing your studies, whereas the regular BA keeps you on campus. It suits students who want broader perspectives on world problems rather than specializing in a single discipline, and who are curious about how global systems actually work.	You study the theory and practice of running organizations and businesses. The program covers accounting, finance, marketing, human resources, and management, with flexibility to focus on areas that interest you most. It includes a co-op work term, so you alternate between classroom learning and paid work experience in real organizations, which suits people who want to apply what they learn and build professional networks while studying.
