Gain opportunities

Bachelor of Communication (Digital and Social Media)

Gain technical skills and hands-on experience in areas such as User Experience (UX) design, digital marketing, app prototyping and social media. 

Bachelor of Music and Sound Design

A hands-on approach to test musical theory across music, sound and screens and new ideas in the studio, whilst learning to critically revise musical work. There are also internship opportunities, including with Animal Logic. 

I studied Media Arts and Production at UTS and learned the foundations of my practice. I am relieved to see a revived focus on ethical and sustainable media practices, and believe that our screen industry will be in reliable hands if the new generation of storytellers are educated with this integrity as core to their study. Activism and entrepreneurship are often denied space in academia, and I am excited that this new masters will encourage graduates to contribute back to society in a meaningful way, to make the world better than how we inherited it.

What inspired me to pick the Digital & Social Media course at UTS was the fact that this course was so reactive to the changed media environment. No course at any other Australian university at the time was current enough to offer students a course that was really trying to keep with up modern day issues. Specifically, the evolution of digital media and the impact of social media today.
