Hear from UTS student Megha Kapoor on how the Bachelor of Creative Intelligence and Innovation (BCII) has added value to her Law degree at UTS.
The Bachelor of Laws Bachelor of Creative Intelligence and Innovation is an innovative UTS degree with a focus on creating new value through transdisciplinary problem solving.
By combining these courses, students learn to solve complex challenges, work collaboratively across and between disciplines, and apply their conceptual and problem-solving expertise beyond traditional professional boundaries.
Both degrees are practice-oriented in their design. In the BCII, students use design processes to engage with industry experiences, real-world projects and self-initiated proposals. The law component of this degree offers fieldwork, leadership, mooting and mentoring opportunities, and meets the academic requirements for admission to practise law in NSW. Students can also enrol in the Legal Futures and Technology major, which provides a future-focused look at the technologies shaping the legal profession.
By the end of the course, students have the skills to engage in critical and creative thinking, invention, complexity, innovation, future scenario building and entrepreneurship, and the ability to work on their own across disciplines.
Graduates have the capacity to take a contemporary and solutions-focused approach to a career in law, or to use their legal expertise as a solid foundation for entrepreneurial, collaborative, strategic or analytical positions across a range of professional sectors.

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.
