What it is	You study the design and creation of jewellery and textiles using both traditional craft techniques and modern materials. Unlike a purely fine art program, this combines artistic vision with practical knowledge of how materials behave and how to construct wearable or functional pieces. It suits people who want to make things with their hands, enjoy experimenting with colour and form, and see themselves as artist-craftspeople rather than purely visual artists.	Industrial Design teaches you how to plan and shape physical products — from phones to furniture to medical devices — so they work well, look good, and can actually be made. You'll combine design thinking with engineering and manufacturing knowledge to understand both the creative and practical sides of bringing products to life. The co-op term lets you work in industry while you study, so you apply what you learn to real projects.	You study how to plan and run recreation programs, facilities, and leisure services — everything from community centres and sports leagues to tourism and event management. This program combines business skills with hands-on knowledge of how people use their free time and how organizations serve those needs. It suits people who want to work in the recreation and hospitality sector but prefer a management and planning focus over hands-on coaching or guiding.
