| What it is | This program combines the study of international affairs and modern languages, so you analyse global politics, development, and cross-cultural issues while building fluency in at least one foreign language. Unlike a straight language degree, you focus on how languages connect to real-world international problems and policy. The co-op component means you alternate between classroom and paid work terms with governments, NGOs, or international organizations. It suits people who want language skills tied to global careers rather than language study alone. | Commerce is a broad business degree where you study accounting, finance, marketing, management, and related topics. You choose a concentration like accounting or finance to specialize, rather than studying one narrow area. It suits people interested in business fundamentals and real-world work experience, since the program includes optional co-op placements that let you alternate between classes and paid jobs in your field. | A Bachelor of Business Administration is a four-year degree where you study core business concepts like accounting, finance, and marketing, then specialize in areas like human resources or entrepreneurship. This program includes a mandatory co-op work term, so you alternate between classroom learning and paid work experience at a company. It suits students who want practical business skills and real-world workplace exposure alongside theory. |
