Bachelor of Communication (Media Business) Bachelor of International Studies (Honours)

Bachelor of Communication (Media Business) Bachelor of International Studies (Honours) is an exit-point for students who have completed the International Honours pathway within the Bachelor of Communication (Media Business) Bachelor of International Studies (C10452).

In the fourth year of the combined degree, International Honours students spend an academic year studying in the local language at a university in the country of their major and also complete an honours level research project under the supervision of a relevant UTS academic.

Entry to the International Honours pathway is dependent on students maintaining a credit average (or higher) in both their International Studies and professional degree in their first three years of study, and on the availability of placements in particular majors.

The rapid rise of digital technologies globally has transformed how the media do business. Based in the fundamentals of business best-practice, including two subjects housed within UTS’s Faculty of Business, this course builds a range of transferable skills. It will equip students with the conceptual frameworks and practical skillsets to drive business success in competitive creative industries, deal with dynamic environments, and establish sustainable, ethical practices. They will learn how to execute astute decisions, harness the reach and influence of online distribution channels, and negotiate emerging challenges and opportunities within various workplace scenarios, including their own creative entrepreneurial work. Throughout the course students build a portfolio of work to promote themselves in the job market.
