Overview

Combine your interests for a unique career that is connected to your talents and passions. In a double degree you focus on two areas of expertise to graduate with more knowledge, skills, and career options.

Immerse yourself in creative practice and develop your independent voice with the Bachelor of Fine Arts. This degree includes distinct and focused specialisations from which you can choose: Animation and Moving Image, Art Theory, Music (including creative practice, pedagogy, sonic arts), and Visual Arts. You’ll learn from experts who will build your technical skills and knowledge in practical and theoretical classes. Your career will be developed though the strong industry links that are embedded in all our specialisations.

Media is the glue of a modern society and shapes every aspect of life today.  The Bachelor of Media at UNSW unlocks the specialist expertise, self-knowledge, creative thinking and creative problem-solving skills to make an impact as a media professional, or simply set you up as a more aware professional to succeed in your second and third job, not just your first. You’ll have the opportunity to tailor a degree to your specific interests. Specialise in public relations & advertising, communications and journalism, screen production, cinema studies, or media studies. Here, you’ll develop practical job skills as well as conceptual, strategic, creative and critical capabilities to help you make your impact in the exciting and fast-changing media industries.
