About this program

The Bachelor of Creative Production in Media Arts Bachelor of International Studies at the University of Technology Sydney is a unique, combined five-year degree designed for students seeking to develop both advanced skills in media arts and a global perspective through international studies. The course integrates practical and theoretical training in media production, covering areas such as digital storytelling, audio-visual production, interactive content, and creative project management, with in-depth exploration of international cultures, politics, and languages.

Structured around semesters, students complete a carefully selected suite of units of study, accumulating credit points towards their double qualification. Core creative production units allow hands-on experience using industry-standard equipment and facilities, alongside critical frameworks for media analysis. International Studies components typically include language acquisition, cross-cultural communication, and international relations, culminating in an immersive in-country study year that deepens students’ engagement with a specific region.

A standout of this program is the integration of work-integrated learning opportunities and a potential capstone project, key for building a professional portfolio. Students gain strong collaborative, technical, project management, and intercultural communication skills, making them well-prepared for a dynamic, evolving job market. The program is tailored for those who aspire to careers at the intersection of media arts and international engagement, whether as content creators, communication specialists, or media strategists with global reach.

As a degree delivered in Sydney by a major public university, students benefit from proximity to Australia’s media and creative industries, cultural organisations, and multinational enterprises. The course also supports work rights of 48 hours per fortnight during study, and successful graduates may be eligible for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) post-study work stream. Entry requirements include demonstrating English proficiency at the university’s required level; prospective students should confirm up-to-date details on the official page.
