Bachelor of Communication (Media Arts and Production) Bachelor of Creative Intelligence and Innovation
Designed for people passionate about films, filmmaking, and media production, the Bachelor of Communication (Media Arts and Production) at UTS equips students with the practical production skills and conceptual backing needed to enter the creative industries with a competitive edge. This hands-on course, designed and taught by leading practitioners in the Australian film and television industry, sees students produce a portfolio of media works encompassing short drama, documentary, animation, sound and the media arts.
Taking a transdisciplinary approach, the Bachelor of Creative Intelligence and Innovation utilises multiple perspectives from diverse fields, integrating a range of industry experiences, real-world projects and self-initiated proposals, equipping graduates to address the wicked problems, complex challenges and untapped opportunities in today's world.
Located in the creative precinct of inner-city Sydney, UTS students have access to a wide variety of industry-standard equipment and facilities. Collaborating on a range of projects, students develop life-long creative partnerships from within a cohort of like-minded practitioners, whilst experimenting with their creative vision. They not only learn contemporary facets of media production, but also classic techniques and concepts rooted in the foundation of cinema and storytelling. Using industry-based production models, this course allows students to experience and specialise in a variety of roles such as cinematography, scriptwriting, directing, producing, sound, editing, and more. UTS student productions have been screened internationally, won awards at film festivals, and have been developed further into series.
By focusing on the high-level conceptual thinking and problem-solving practices that lead to the development of innovative, creative and entrepreneurial outcomes, students of the combined degree also gain leading edge capabilities that are highly valued in the globalised world, including dealing with critical and creative thinking, invention, complexity, innovation, future scenario building and entrepreneurship, and the ability to work on their own across disciplines. These creative intelligence competencies enable graduates to navigate a rapidly changing world.

Course fees
For relevant fee information, please choose from the following:
Local student
All students at UTS pay tuition fees to contribute towards the cost of their studies.
In 2024 all offers made to domestic undergraduate students will be for Commonwealth Supported Places (CSP), which means that the Australian government makes a substantial contribution towards the cost of your education, and you pay the balance through student contributions.
The amount you pay depends on your area of study and the number of credit points (cp) in which you enrol. At UTS 48 credit points is considered to be one Equivalent Full Time Study Load (EFTSL).
The table to the right shows the amount a student can expect to pay for one year of full-time study (1.0 EFTSL).
Students can choose to pay their student contribution upfront, or if eligible, can defer their fees through HECS-HELP.
In addition to tuition fees, students are required to pay a Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF). The purchase of textbooks and other course materials may also result in additional cost.
You can calculate your student contribution as a percentage of the amounts shown on the table. Fee rates are divided into four bands covering broad discipline areas. It is important to note that a particular subject within a course may fall within a different band.
For example, if you are enrolled in a 6-credit point Architecture subject, your contribution would be 6/48 x $9,314 = $1,164.
Student contribution amounts for 2025 commencing students
| 2025 student contribution - Area of Study | Amount for 48 cp |
|---|---|

Careers
To increase career flexibility, students can add a second major from five of the other majors offered in the Bachelor of Communication, and build further skills and portfolios that equip them for a range of work options in media and communication. These courses give students practical and transferrable skills for the expanding media industries.
Graduates leave as multifaceted media practitioners with a strong understanding of both form and function. They find work in all areas of media including film, TV, broadcast, music videos and content creation for advertising, marketing, and new digital media forms such as apps and social media. Practice-based learning ensures students develop a portfolio of work to show future employers or concepts that can be taken into the media market. Careers include traditional roles such as director, producer, scriptwriter, cinematographer, documentary maker, editor, sound designer and post-production specialist, to newer roles such as multimedia designer, social media specialist, multimedia and digital content producers and many more.
By being creative thinkers, initiators of new ideas, scenario planners, global strategists, open network designers or sustainable futures innovators within their chosen field of study, graduates maximise the potential of their chosen profession, making them highly sought after graduates with the ability to identify and develop solutions to some of the most complex issues that face their disciplines and society.

Industrial training/professional practice
As part of the Bachelor of Communication (Media Arts and Production), students undertake practice-based learning and develop a range of media projects across moving image, sound and digital media. This occurs in every subject in the Media Arts and Production major. Students attend relevant production workshops in the use of cameras and audio and related equipment, as well as video editing, sound editing and digital software and technology. Students develop a creative media production portfolio throughout the major, culminating in the media arts project produced at the end of their studies. They may choose to supplement their learning with professional placements relating to the media arts and production sector. Students may also publicly exhibit their work through regular screenings and events.
Students can also elect to undertake a professional internship in industry.
In the final year of the Bachelor of Creative Intelligence and Innovation, students can undertake between 6 and 12 credit points of internship (work experience) that relates to innovation within their research, career development or core degree specialisations. For students undertaking 12 credit points of internship, international internships may be negotiated.
