What you studyJournalismMarketingMedia and Communication StudiesPublicity Studies
What it isComputer Science is the study of how to design, build, and improve software and the systems that run it. You learn programming languages, algorithms, data structures, and problem-solving techniques that apply across industries. This program includes a mandatory co-op work term, so you spend time applying what you learn in real jobs alongside classroom study, which sets it apart from a straight academic stream.This one-year certificate teaches you how to create and share messages across newspapers, websites, social media, and marketing campaigns. You study journalism, marketing, and media strategy together rather than picking one path, so you learn how different communication fields overlap. It suits people who want hands-on skills in writing, promotion, or media work without committing to a full degree, or who are already working and need to upgrade their communications knowledge part-time.
