Bachelor of Creative Production in Animation Bachelor of International Studies (Honours)

The Bachelor of Creative Production in Animation Bachelor of International Studies (Honours) at the University of Technology Sydney is a distinctive double degree designed for students interested in combining advanced skills in animation with a nuanced understanding of international perspectives. Over five years, students learn creative production in the animation discipline, covering concept development, 2D and 3D animation techniques, visual storytelling, and post-production, while also developing expertise in another country's language and culture. The honours component enables students to undertake an advanced research project, guided by academic experts, to demonstrate high-level critical and creative thinking.

This Australian qualification is structured around semesters, with students progressing through a series of 'units of study' that contribute to their credit points. The International Studies component often includes a year abroad, which provides invaluable firsthand experience in cultural and linguistic immersion. The Animation strand culminates in a capstone project, enabling students to showcase their technical and narrative capabilities through a major creative work, often in collaboration with industry partners.

Graduates emerge with a strong portfolio, research and analytical abilities, cross-cultural competence, project management, and language proficiency. Work-integrated learning is emphasised, and students may have the opportunity to participate in internships or placements with Australian creative studios or internationally renowned animation firms, leveraging UTS' strong industry connections. The course suits creative problem solvers who are eager to engage with global industries and aspire to roles in animation, media production, or international creative enterprises.

As a Sydney-based degree from a public Australian university, students benefit from proximity to Australia’s vibrant film, media, and creative technology sectors. Students can work up to 48 hours per fortnight while studying and may be eligible to apply for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) post-completion. For applicants whose first language is not English, proficiency must be demonstrated as outlined on the official course page.
