| What it is | You study how people communicate and influence each other through media, advertising, journalism, and marketing. This program blends theory from multiple disciplines — sociology, psychology, media studies — rather than focusing on just one communication skill. It suits students interested in how messages shape society and who want flexible options across journalism, public relations, advertising, and media industries. | You study how people communicate through media, journalism, and public discourse, combined with the sociological analysis of human behaviour and social structures. This joint honours program lets you develop depth in both fields rather than choosing one, and the co-op option embeds paid work terms into your degree. It suits students curious about why societies work the way they do and how communication shapes — and reflects — social change. |

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
