About this program

The Bachelor of Communication in Media Business Bachelor of International Studies at the University of Technology Sydney is a comprehensive five-year double degree designed for students interested in the dynamic fields of media, communication, and global affairs. Taking place in the vibrant setting of Sydney, this course offers an in-depth curriculum that prepares graduates to navigate the evolving landscape of media industries in an international context.

Students will complete units of study that typically combine theoretical knowledge and practical applications in media management, content production, digital strategy, and cultural communication. Through structured semesters, you will gain core skills in media business operations, audience analysis, and international relations, topped by an immersive focus on a language and country of your choice. The international studies component enriches understanding of cross-cultural communication and global business practices, culminating in a possible in-country study experience to consolidate language and intercultural skills.

Australian bachelor's degrees are generally structured around earning designated credit points by passing specified units. This double degree may also include a capstone project, industry collaboration, or professional placement, reflecting UTS’s industry connections and practice-based approach. Work-integrated learning opportunities and real-world case studies are prominent, preparing you to apply your learning in the Australian and global workforce.

This programme suits those with ambitions in media, public relations, corporate communications, and international business, especially those intent on working across borders or for multinational organisations. With Sydney’s role as a major media hub and Australia’s multicultural society, students will benefit from relevant real-world engagement and the option to work up to 48 hours per fortnight during session. After graduation, eligible students may apply for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485). Entry requirements include proof of English proficiency; confirm specific standards and application details on the official UTS page.
