What you study	Media and Communication Studies	Biological Sciences Biotechnology Molecular Biology, Biochemistry	Animal Science Biological Sciences Biotechnology Genetics
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.	Biomedical Sciences is the study of how living systems work at the cellular and molecular level, focusing on the chemistry of life processes, genes, and how cells function. It differs from general biology by going deeper into the chemistry behind biological processes and how organisms work at the tiniest scales. This program suits students who want a science foundation for health professions, research, or biotechnology careers, but aren't yet committed to a specific path like medicine or nursing.	You study the science of living things — from individual cells and genes to entire ecosystems and animal behaviour. The Environmental Science degree focuses on how organisms interact with their environment, while other options let you specialize in animal biology, plants, genetics, or microbiology. This program suits people curious about how life works and interested in careers ranging from conservation and wildlife management to research, teaching, or health sciences.
