What you study	Business Studies Computer Science	Business Studies Others in Business & Administrative Studies Sociology	Business Studies Creative Writing Economics Interdisciplinary Studies
What it is	You study both business and computer science together, learning how organizations use technology and data, plus how to build and manage systems. This combined program goes deeper into both fields than a single-subject degree would, rather than treating computing as just a business tool. It suits people who want technical skills and business knowledge equally, and who see themselves working at the intersection of tech and management.	You study business and organizations through both management and sociology lenses, examining how companies operate in society and affect people. This program blends traditional business topics like accounting and strategy with the social sciences, so you explore not just profits but also ethics, inequality, and community impact. It suits students interested in business who also want to understand the human and social dimensions of commerce, and the optional co-op lets you test this approach through paid work terms.	You study how people communicate through digital platforms, traditional media, and written content, combining journalism, creative writing, and media analysis with business and economics foundations. Unlike a pure journalism program, this combines multiple communication disciplines and requires hands-on digital media production alongside theory. It suits people who want to work in digital marketing, publishing, broadcasting, or content creation and value gaining real workplace experience during their degree.
