What you study	Media and Communication Studies	Astronomy Chemistry Geology Materials Science
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 foundational study in mathematics with hands-on work in chemistry, physics, astronomy, geology, and related fields. You'll take core courses in pure and applied mathematics alongside lab work and theory in the physical sciences, giving you breadth rather than specialization in a single discipline. It suits students drawn to quantitative problem-solving across multiple scientific areas who want flexibility to explore before committing to a specific path.
