What it is	You study core business subjects like accounting, finance, marketing, and human resources, alongside economics and psychology. This program includes a co-op stream, meaning you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at companies, giving you real workplace experience alongside your degree. It suits people who want practical business skills and prefer learning by doing, not just theory.	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.
