| What it is | You study the creative and business sides of art, film, design, and performance. This program combines hands-on work in fields like photography, animation, drama, and dance with classes in marketing and media studies, so you're not just making art — you're learning how to manage projects and reach audiences. It suits people who want careers in creative industries but also need to understand budgets, promotion, and how to run cultural organizations. | This program lets you study how societies, economies, and cultures interact across borders, drawing from fields like history, anthropology, economics, and international development. You'll examine global issues through multiple lenses rather than specializing in one discipline. It suits students curious about world affairs and international problems who want flexibility to explore different approaches before deciding on a deeper focus. | Social Sciences is the study of how people, societies, and economies work. You choose from nine subject areas including anthropology, economics, history, law, geography, politics, and sociology, and can combine them however you want rather than following one fixed path. This program suits students curious about human behaviour, institutions, and the world around them who want flexibility to explore multiple disciplines before specializing. | International Studies is a degree where you combine courses from fields like economics, history, business, and development to understand global issues and how different countries interact. The iBA option includes a mandatory year abroad at a partner university, immersing you in another culture while continuing your studies, whereas the regular BA keeps you on campus. It suits students who want broader perspectives on world problems rather than specializing in a single discipline, and who are curious about how global systems actually work. |
