| What it is | Economics is the study of how people, businesses, and governments make decisions about money, trade, and resources. In this bachelor's degree, you learn economic theory, data analysis, and real-world problem-solving through courses that examine everything from personal finance to global markets. This program suits students who want to understand how the economy works and are interested in careers in business, policy, finance, or research. | Creative Industries is an interdisciplinary program that brings together writing, design, journalism, and media studies so you can understand how creative work actually gets made and distributed in the real world. Rather than studying each of these fields separately, you learn how they connect and influence each other across publishing, advertising, broadcasting, and digital platforms. It suits people who want to work in media, publishing, or design but aren't sure yet which specific role fits them best. | You study creative writing, journalism, and media communication — how to write stories, report news, and create content across different platforms. This co-op program requires you to work terms in actual creative or media companies, so you alternate between school and paid work in the field. It suits people who want hands-on experience in writing and digital media before they finish their degree, not just classroom learning. |
