| What it is | 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. | 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. |
