What it is	You study how media works — television, film, social media, news, advertising — and how people communicate through it. The international version lets you spend time studying abroad, and you can choose a co-op stream to do paid work placements with media companies alongside your courses. This program suits students curious about how messages spread, media influence society, and who want hands-on experience in the industry before graduating.	This program combines the study of how people create, share, and interpret information across media and cultures. You'll choose from areas like creative writing, media studies, publishing, and information technology, rather than specializing in just one. The co-op option lets you work in communications or tech roles while you study, which suits people who want real-world experience alongside their degree and flexibility in choosing which communication field interests them most.	A three-year Bachelor of Arts lets you choose from humanities and social science subjects like history, English, anthropology, geography, and environmental studies. Unlike an honours degree, you complete fewer credits overall and have more flexibility to explore different fields or combine subjects without specializing deeply in one. This suits students who want a broad liberal arts education or who are still deciding what to focus on.
