What it is	This program combines studies in how media, film, and communication work across journalism, photography, drama, and fine art. Unlike a general communications degree, it integrates hands-on creative production with critical analysis of how stories and images shape audiences. Co-op placements let you work in newsrooms, production studios, or media organizations while studying. It suits people who want to understand both the creative and technical sides of storytelling across different mediums.	You study how to create and produce media across film, photography, writing, and design, learning both the technical skills and creative thinking behind what you see on screens and in print. Unlike a pure communication theory program, this one emphasizes hands-on production and design work alongside studying media's role in society. It suits people who want to make things, not just analyze them, and who enjoy combining visual, written, and conceptual work.	You study the creative and business sides of art, film, design, and performance. This program combines hands-on work in fields like photography, animation, drama, and dance with classes in marketing and media studies, so you're not just making art — you're learning how to manage projects and reach audiences. It suits people who want careers in creative industries but also need to understand budgets, promotion, and how to run cultural organizations.
