The Bachelor of Media (Screen and Sound Production)/Bachelor of Arts at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) is a comprehensive double degree designed for students passionate about both creative media practice and broad-based humanistic inquiry. Over four years of full-time study in Sydney, students engage in a robust curriculum that covers practical filmmaking, sound design, screenwriting, critical analysis and creative research alongside a wide selection from the humanities, social sciences, or languages.
This double degree follows the Australian undergraduate structure, combining core and elective units of study, each assigned credit points toward the completion of the qualification. The Bachelor of Media (Screen and Sound Production) component offers hands-on learning in facilities that reflect industry standards, culminating in significant creative projects. Concurrently, the Bachelor of Arts allows in-depth study in at least one arts discipline, supporting development of analytical thinking, research skills, and cultural literacy. Students often participate in capstone projects, and work-integrated learning or internships may be available to develop professional experience in media industries.
Throughout the course, students gain skills in audiovisual storytelling, technical media production, collaborative project management, and critical thinking. They learn how to apply theoretical frameworks to practical production, respond to technological innovation, and articulate ideas with clarity across multiple media forms. The double degree programme is suitable for those seeking entry into the screen and sound sectors, as well as those who wish to supplement their creative practice with broader academic expertise, critical literacy, or language skills.
UNSW’s strong ties to Sydney’s vibrant creative industries and research sectors enhance learning opportunities, and graduates are well-placed for dynamic careers. International students at Australian universities can work up to 48 hours per fortnight during study and may be eligible for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) post-graduation. Entry requires English language proficiency, commonly evidenced by an overall IELTS of 6.0–6.5, or equivalent. For specific degree structure, elective options, and detailed unit requirements, prospective students should confirm details on the official university page.
It typically takes 4 years, with intakes in Semester 1 (Feb/Mar), Semester 2 (Jul).
Tuition is around A$197,000 total. Fees change yearly, confirm with an advisor.
