What it is	You study drama, fine art, and music together, exploring creative expression across all three disciplines rather than choosing one. This program combines artistic training with a focus on how creative practices can support mental health and wellbeing in communities. It suits people who want to make art their path but also care about its impact on people and society.	Communication, Media and Film covers how people create and share messages through different formats: journalism, photography, film, drama, and digital media. The co-op option means you alternate between classroom learning and paid work terms in media organizations, giving you real industry experience alongside your degree. It suits people who want to understand storytelling and media from multiple angles while building a practical portfolio.	This program teaches you how to build theatre productions from the design and technical side — lighting, set design, costumes, sound, and stagecraft — rather than focusing on acting or playwriting. You'll study both the artistic principles of design and the practical skills needed to realize a director's vision on stage. It suits people who are creative and detail-oriented but prefer working behind the scenes to solve problems and bring stories to life physically.
