What it is	Physical Geography and Geomatics is the study of Earth's natural systems — climate, landforms, water cycles, and ecosystems — combined with the tools and technology used to map and analyze landscapes and geographic data. You'll learn fieldwork skills alongside GIS software and remote sensing, which sets this apart from pure geology or human geography alone. It suits students who want to understand how the physical world works and are comfortable with both outdoor research and technical problem-solving.	Professional Translation is a program where you study how to translate texts, documents, and media between English and French at an advanced level. Unlike a general language degree, it focuses specifically on translation skills and techniques across different fields like business, law, media, and literature. It suits people who are fluent in both English and French and want to turn that skill into a career.	You study the creative and business sides of art, film, design, and performance. This program combines hands-on work in fields like photography, animation, drama, and dance with classes in marketing and media studies, so you're not just making art — you're learning how to manage projects and reach audiences. It suits people who want careers in creative industries but also need to understand budgets, promotion, and how to run cultural organizations.
