Bachelor of Communication (Media Arts and Production)

The Bachelor of Communication (Media Arts and Production) at the University of Technology Sydney is designed for creative individuals interested in exploring the diverse world of media production. This course provides a thorough grounding in the theory and practice of media arts, equipping students with the skills to create compelling content across platforms such as film, television, digital media, and emerging technologies.

The degree is structured over three years of full-time study and comprises distinct units of study, each contributing to the total credit points required for graduation. Coursework is delivered through a mix of lectures, tutorials, and practical workshops, offering in-depth exposure to the technical and creative aspects of media production.
