What it is	Media Studies teaches you how to analyze, create, and understand media — including film, television, news, social media, and advertising — and how media shapes society and culture. You'll study both the theory behind media and hands-on production skills. This program suits people who are curious about how communication works in the modern world and want to understand or work in creative and media industries.	You study how to create and produce media across film, photography, writing, and design, learning both the technical skills and creative thinking behind what you see on screens and in print. Unlike a pure communication theory program, this one emphasizes hands-on production and design work alongside studying media's role in society. It suits people who want to make things, not just analyze them, and who enjoy combining visual, written, and conceptual work.	Graphic Communications Management teaches you to manage the creative and business sides of visual design projects. You study design principles alongside marketing, business strategy, and media production so you can lead teams that create everything from branding to advertising campaigns. It suits people who want to combine artistic thinking with management responsibility, rather than focusing only on design or only on business.	You study core business subjects like accounting, finance, marketing, and human resources, alongside economics and psychology. This program includes a co-op stream, meaning you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at companies, giving you real workplace experience alongside your degree. It suits people who want practical business skills and prefer learning by doing, not just theory.
