About this program

The Bachelor of Creative Production in Media Arts Bachelor of Laws (Honours) at the University of Technology Sydney is an innovative double degree that fuses creative media arts expertise with comprehensive legal training. Over five years of full-time study, students engage with interdisciplinary coursework structured around both creative production and in-depth legal education, culminating in an honours-level research experience in law. Within the programme, students progress through a sequence of units of study and accumulate credit points that satisfy the dual requirements of both a media arts and a law degree.

The Media Arts component covers contemporary practices in media design, film production, sound, and new digital platforms, promoting critical thinking and creative experimentation. Meanwhile, the Laws (Honours) stream delivers rigorous legal theory, statutory interpretation, research, and practical skills essential for legal practice in Australia. An honours research project in the final stages develops advanced analytical and research capabilities.

Throughout the curriculum, students refine skills in creative concept development, audiovisual storytelling, legal analysis, advocacy, and ethical reasoning. Real-world learning is further encouraged, with opportunities for work-integrated learning and professional placements, particularly valuable in the legal and media sectors. This double degree suits those interested in the intersections between law, media, and creative industries, ideal for future content lawyers, media producers, or legal advisors seeking cross-disciplinary expertise.

International students are required to demonstrate English language proficiency, typically at a higher level for law (IELTS 7.0 or equivalent). While studying, students are permitted to work up to 48 hours per fortnight, and upon graduation, this qualification meets the requirements for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) post-study work stream. Prospective applicants should verify all course and admissions details through the official UTS and CRICOS pages.

Entry requirements

English: International applicants must evidence English proficiency. IELTS Academic 6.0–6.5 overall is the common undergraduate and coursework-postgraduate standard, rising to 7.0–7.5 for teaching, nursing, medicine, law and social work. TOEFL iBT, PTE Academic, Cambridge C1 Advanced and the university’s own English programmes are accepted as equivalents; the Department of Home Affairs sets a separate English threshold for the Student visa itself.

International students: Registered on CRICOS for international students. A Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) for this course supports a Student visa (subclass 500) application; Overseas Student Health Cover is required for the full duration.
