Culture Media and the Creative Industries

Versatile degree with many potential teaching pathways and career options. However a degree focused a lot on social studies rather than culture and media. There should be more of a focus on this given the degree title, making it seem a bit misleading.

Well organized courses. Option of thesis project

I really liked the program as it prepared me well for applying to various master programs or professional schools. Secondly, it allows numerous opportunities to work with faculty members on research projects e.g UROP, and Honours projects. Additionally, we are provided with the option of adding a minor from another faculty or specialize in something from our faculty e.g. public health, health technologies, or bioscience. However, I took off one star as the university did not run a Co-Op program for this degree.

Good

I would recommend the university! I like the good friends God connected me to and how I became even more serious because of them! Aldo some of the lecturers are nice and others ain’t but overall I would recommend though the School body should look into improving her standards in terms of curriculum!

The course of International Relations

GIPA offers one of the best, if not the best, IR courses in the whole country. In my first year, I used to think that it was not anything special, but over time, I realized how important everything we learn is. The professors are really friendly and they are always on the students' side. The subjects that the course offers are very interesting and engaging, all of them give you the theoretical and practical bases to further develop your critical thinking. The only negative thing about this course is that the campus is very far away from the city center.
