What it is	This program combines economics and international development to study how communities can build stronger local economies and social systems. Unlike a straight economics degree, you focus on real-world problem-solving in communities rather than theory alone, and you explore how development works across different countries and contexts. It suits people who want to understand economic inequality and help design practical solutions, but prefer learning through applied cases over pure theory.	You study how economic systems and social enterprises can solve real-world problems, combining economics, business start-ups, international development, and community-focused thinking. Unlike a straight economics or business program, this degree emphasizes using entrepreneurship and innovation specifically to create social change, not just profit. It suits people who want to understand global inequality and poverty while learning practical skills to launch organizations or projects that address them.	This program combines the study of international affairs and modern languages, so you analyse global politics, development, and cross-cultural issues while building fluency in at least one foreign language. Unlike a straight language degree, you focus on how languages connect to real-world international problems and policy. The co-op component means you alternate between classroom and paid work terms with governments, NGOs, or international organizations. It suits people who want language skills tied to global careers rather than language study alone.
