What you study	Civil Engineering General or Integrated Engineering	Cinematics & Photography Media and Communication Studies	Cinematics & Photography Media and Communication Studies
What it is	You study how to design, build, and maintain infrastructure like roads, bridges, buildings, and water systems. This program includes a mandatory co-op work term, so you alternate between classroom learning and paid work at engineering firms, giving you real project experience alongside your degree. It suits people who want hands-on problem-solving in construction and infrastructure and are ready to balance coursework with workplace learning.	You study the creative and technical craft of making films, from cinematography and camera work to storytelling and visual composition. Unlike a broader media studies program, Image Arts focuses on hands-on production skills and the visual language of cinema rather than theory alone. This suits students who want to create films themselves and are comfortable learning through doing.	You'll study how to plan, shoot, and produce films and videos from start to finish. This program goes deeper into the technical and creative sides of filmmaking than a general media studies degree would, with hands-on work in cinematography, lighting, editing, and storytelling. It suits people who want to work as directors, cinematographers, or producers rather than study media theory or work in broader communications roles.
