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.	You study business and education together in one integrated program, earning both a commerce degree and a teaching qualification in four years. Unlike separate business and teacher education degrees, you complete coursework in accounting, marketing, human resources, or entrepreneurship alongside mandatory education training to teach junior and intermediate students. This suits people who want to combine business expertise with classroom teaching, or who are exploring both paths before deciding which to pursue.
