| What it is | This program combines the study of conflicts, human rights law, and social policy across economics, politics, and interdisciplinary fields. You'll analyze how economic systems, political institutions, and policy decisions affect human rights and create or resolve conflicts. The co-op requirement means you'll alternate between classroom learning and paid work terms at organizations dealing with these issues, giving you practical experience alongside theory. | Creative Industries is an interdisciplinary program that brings together writing, design, journalism, and media studies so you can understand how creative work actually gets made and distributed in the real world. Rather than studying each of these fields separately, you learn how they connect and influence each other across publishing, advertising, broadcasting, and digital platforms. It suits people who want to work in media, publishing, or design but aren't sure yet which specific role fits them best. | You study how films, photographs, and media messages are made and understood, combining hands-on work in cinematography and design with analysis of how communication shapes culture. This program blends technical skills — camera work, editing, visual design — with critical thinking about media's role in society. It suits people who want to create visual work and understand the stories media tells. |
