From 2026, students wishing to study Music and Sound Design at UTS will apply to undertake a Bachelor of Creative Production in Music and Sound Design.
What are the main changes in the new course?
- Core subjects will change from 8 credit points to 6 credit points.
- The major will be replaced with a stream comprising 8 x 6-credit-point subjects.
- Students choose to complete two sub-majors and one elective, one sub-major and five electives, or nine electives.
- Elective offerings will be 6 credit points rather than a mix of 6 and 8 credit points.
What does this mean for you?

No action is required from you.
You will remain in the current version of your course and will continue your studies as per the typical program published for the year you started your course.
