Bachelor of Creative Production in Media Arts Bachelor of International Studies (Honours)

The Bachelor of Creative Production in Media Arts Bachelor of International Studies (Honours) at the University of Technology Sydney is a distinctive double degree designed for students passionate about both media and global engagement. Over five years of full-time study, learners immerse themselves in two complementary disciplines, creative media production and international studies, culminating in an honours research project. The structure typically comprises a combination of core and elective units of study, measured in credit points, which ensure both a strong foundation and the ability to tailor studies to specific interests.

In the Media Arts component, students gain hands-on, industry-relevant skills across media platforms such as video, audio, digital storytelling, and creative production. The curriculum is grounded in both practical and theoretical frameworks, with opportunities for work-integrated learning that provide real-world experience in Australia's vibrant media and creative industries. The degree features collaborative projects, regular assessments, and critical engagement with media technologies.

The International Studies stream broadens students’ global perspectives, extending their understanding of cultural, social, and political dynamics worldwide. This component generally includes a period of overseas study or in-country experience, fostering language proficiency and cross-cultural communication skills. In the final year, students undertake an honours research thesis, developing advanced analytical and research competencies, guided by faculty supervision. This intensive academic project prepares graduates for professional leadership or postgraduate research.

This double degree suits those aspiring to flourish in creative production, journalism, digital content, and roles requiring international awareness. Graduates are well-placed to respond to Australia’s strong demand for creative and multilingual professionals who can navigate both local and global contexts. Entry requirements include evidence of English proficiency, most commonly an IELTS (Academic) 6.0–6.5, with alternatives accepted as detailed by the institution. International students in Australia benefit from work rights of up to 48 hours per fortnight during sessions, and this CRICOS-registered course enables eligibility for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) post-graduation.
