The Bachelor of Communication in Public Relations and Advertising Bachelor of International Studies (Honours) at the University of Technology Sydney is a comprehensive double degree designed for students seeking expertise in strategic communication combined with a deep understanding of global contexts. This five-year honours programme equips students to excel in both local and international professional environments. The curriculum integrates foundational and advanced study across public relations, advertising, and international studies.
The course is structured around semesters, with students completing a series of units of study that collectively accrue credit points required for graduation. The honours component involves advanced coursework and a research thesis or capstone project, enabling students to develop high-level analytical and research skills. The international studies strand includes a period of immersion in an overseas context, providing real-world experience and cross-cultural competence, often through a professional placement or exchange.
Graduates emerge with versatile skills in media relations, strategic planning, campaign development, global communication, and intercultural negotiation. The course blends theory with practical learning, including opportunities for work-integrated learning that connect students with the Australian and global communication industry. This double degree is suited to individuals interested in careers that require strong public communications skills, creativity, and an ability to operate effectively in international and multicultural environments.
As a recognised Australian qualification on the AQF, this programme opens pathways to the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) post-study work stream and allows eligible international students to work up to 48 hours per fortnight during their studies. Prospective students are encouraged to confirm entry requirements, credit points, and unit details on the official UTS website.
It typically takes 5 years, with intakes in Semester 1 (Feb/Mar), Semester 2 (Jul).
