| What it is | You study business management with a focus on international trade, operations, and cross-border commerce. Unlike a general business degree, this program emphasizes global markets, supply chains, and doing business across countries. It includes mandatory co-op work terms, giving you real workplace experience alongside classroom learning. This suits people who want business skills combined with international perspective and hands-on professional practice. | You study how people communicate and how society works, combining media, journalism, and social analysis. Unlike a program focused only on communication or only on sociology, this joint degree lets you examine both how messages spread through society and why societies function the way they do. It suits students interested in understanding culture, institutions, and human behaviour through multiple lenses, and who want practical work experience alongside their studies. | 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. |
