| What it is | This program combines studio art, architectural design, and materials science to explore how buildings and spaces are created and experienced. You'll study drawing, design principles, and the physical properties of construction materials alongside art history and theory. It suits students who want to work creatively with built environments — whether designing buildings, creating installations, or working in architectural practice — rather than pursuing fine art or architecture alone. | Visual Studies is the study of how images, film, photography, and design communicate meaning and shape culture. You'll learn theory, history, and hands-on practice across cinematography, photography, fine art, and design. This program suits students who want to understand visual culture deeply and develop creative skills, rather than train narrowly for a specific design or film production role. | This program combines computer science, design, and visual storytelling to teach you how to create digital content like animated films, video games, and interactive media. Unlike a pure computer science degree, it balances technical coding skills with creative design and artistic principles. It suits people who want to build things on screen and understand both the programming and visual art sides of digital production. | This program teaches you how to create digital content across animation, game design, and visual media. Unlike a pure computer science degree, it balances technical skills with creative and design thinking. It suits people who want to build things that people see and interact with, rather than work mainly on backend systems or theory. |
