About this program

The Bachelor of Communication in Media Business Bachelor of International Studies (Honours) at the University of Technology Sydney is an innovative dual degree designed for students seeking a thorough understanding of the media and communications industries within a global context. Spanning five years of full-time study in Sydney, this honours-level qualification delves into the business and regulatory facets of media, while also immersing students in the study of global cultures, languages, and international perspectives.

The course is structured into semesters, with students required to complete a sequence of units of study that add up to the necessary credit points for graduation. Each year, learners undertake core and elective units covering media business strategy, management, production, and international studies, culminating in a capstone project or honours thesis demonstrating advanced research or industry analysis. Work-integrated learning and professional placement opportunities are integral, providing real-world industry experience and valuable connections within Australia’s vibrant media sector and internationally.

Graduates gain a rich suite of skills including strategic media management, cross-cultural communication, stakeholder engagement, research analysis, and creative problem-solving. The program suits those passionate about media industries, aspiring to lead in content development, distribution, management, or wanting to shape policy, or design communications strategies for global businesses.

As with all UTS qualifications, the degree is situated in Australia's dynamic media landscape, with a strong focus on industry collaboration, current practice, and international relevance. Students holding an appropriate visa can work up to 48 hours per fortnight while studying and may be eligible for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) for post-study work after graduation. For English language and admission requirements, applicants should consult the official UTS and CRICOS information.
