| What it is | You study both business and digital creative work — things like animation, graphic design, and media production — alongside practical work terms in real companies. Unlike a general business degree, this combines creative visual skills with business knowledge so you can manage or launch projects that blend both. It suits people who want to work in creative industries but also understand the commercial and organizational side of getting work made and sold. | Industrial Design teaches you how to plan and shape physical products — from phones to furniture to medical devices — so they work well, look good, and can actually be made. You'll combine design thinking with engineering and manufacturing knowledge to understand both the creative and practical sides of bringing products to life. The co-op term lets you work in industry while you study, so you apply what you learn to real projects. |

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
