The Bachelor of Music/Bachelor of Media (Public Relations and Advertising) at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) is an integrated double degree designed for students who wish to combine advanced musical study with creative media and strategic communication expertise. Over 5.5 years of full-time study in Sydney, students will engage with a diverse curriculum that includes music performance, theory, composition, and musicology alongside core public relations, media, and advertising units. This unique programme is suited for those passionate about both musical artistry and the rapidly evolving landscape of media and communications.
The qualification follows the standard Australian bachelor structure, comprising a sequence of units of study. Students accrue credit points as they progress through the degrees, with opportunities to specialise in particular musical genres or media practices. The dual degree format ensures an in-depth understanding of both fields. Capstone or final-year projects, alongside potential work-integrated learning opportunities, help consolidate skills and provide practical workplace insight. Students are encouraged to participate in industry placements relevant to music, PR and advertising, drawing on Sydney’s vibrant arts and media sectors.
Graduates will acquire a versatile skill set that includes artistic musical abilities, critical analysis, creative project management, communication strategy development, digital media production, and effective stakeholder engagement. The combination prepares students for emerging roles at the intersection of arts, culture, and media industries, offering diverse career opportunities. It is ideally suited to multi-talented individuals aiming to bridge creative expression and media influence within an Australian or global context.
As a student at a major Australian public university in Sydney, you have access to extensive industry connections, performance venues, internships, and professional networks in both the music and media sectors. International students can work 48 hours per fortnight during semesters and may be eligible for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) post-graduation. For detailed degree requirements, specialisations, and English proficiency evidence, consult the official UNSW or CRICOS course page.
It typically takes 5.5 years, with intakes in Semester 1 (Feb/Mar), Semester 2 (Jul).
