What it is	You study visual art through two main lenses: cinematics and photography, plus traditional fine arts like painting and sculpture. Unlike a general arts degree, this program is structured specifically around image-making and visual storytelling. It suits people who think in pictures and want to develop strong technical and conceptual skills in how visuals communicate ideas.	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.
