| What it is | This program combines computer science, design, and visual storytelling to teach you how to create digital content like animated films, video games, and interactive media. Unlike a pure computer science degree, it balances technical coding skills with creative design and artistic principles. It suits people who want to build things on screen and understand both the programming and visual art sides of digital production. | You study how to design, build, and produce video games and interactive digital media. This program combines computer programming and game design with business and media skills, so you learn both the technical side and the creative direction needed to develop games professionally. It suits people who want to work in game studios or media companies and enjoy problem-solving through coding as much as visual storytelling. | 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. | 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. |
