What it is	This program teaches you how to design and produce printed materials and publications, from traditional printmaking techniques like etching and screen printing to digital design and book production. Unlike a general fine arts program, it focuses specifically on the skills and technologies involved in creating work for print and publication. It suits people who want to combine visual creativity with the technical craft of making things people can hold and read.	This program teaches you how media and communication work across multiple platforms — from journalism and photography to marketing and design. You'll study both the theory behind how messages reach audiences and the practical skills to create them yourself. It suits people who want to understand media industries from the inside and are ready to work across different formats rather than specializing in just one.	You study how people communicate through digital platforms, traditional media, and written content, combining journalism, creative writing, and media analysis with business and economics foundations. Unlike a pure journalism program, this combines multiple communication disciplines and requires hands-on digital media production alongside theory. It suits people who want to work in digital marketing, publishing, broadcasting, or content creation and value gaining real workplace experience during their degree.
