What it isThis program teaches you how to design clothing and accessories, market fashion products, and communicate fashion ideas through media. Unlike a pure design program, it combines creative skills with business and communication strategy, so you learn both how to make fashion and how to sell it. It suits people who want to work in design, branding, styling, or fashion media rather than just one of those areas.Digital Futures is a design and fine arts program where you study visual storytelling through digital tools and media, combining animation, graphic design, coding, and art. Unlike traditional design or fine art streams, it's built around interdisciplinary collaboration and real-world projects that blend artistic creativity with digital technology and communication. It suits people who want to create visually, think critically about media, and work across both artistic and technical domains.You study how people communicate and influence each other through media, advertising, journalism, and marketing. This program blends theory from multiple disciplines — sociology, psychology, media studies — rather than focusing on just one communication skill. It suits students interested in how messages shape society and who want flexible options across journalism, public relations, advertising, and media industries.
