Overview

The combined degree, Bachelor of Management Bachelor of International Studies, is offered jointly by Business and International Studies. The program integrates the study of business management alongside the culture and language of another country. Students select one of four majors within the Bachelor of Management – Events, Sport Business, Digital Creative Enterprise, Strategic Innovation and Entrepreneurship, and Sustainability and Social Impact – each of which represent a core sector of the entertainment and experience industries. The International Studies component of the combined degree allows students to develop sector-specific knowledge and skills in both Australian settings and abroad.

This combined degree enables students to travel and study abroad for up to two semesters, located with one of UTS’s partner universities. It is therefore distinctive in offering both tertiary education and life experience in two countries. The course develops deep knowledge of the entertainment and experience industries while combining direct exposure to their application in different cultures and economies.

Course aims

Graduates emerge with the collaborative, leadership, business design, and innovation skills required to successfully contribute to contemporary organisations in entertainment and experience sectors, and are provided with an opportunity to acquire knowledge and understanding of another culture and language.

Career options are enhanced by international experience, making students more marketable to prospective employers.

Innovation and Transdisciplinary program

Transdisciplinarity and Innovation at UTS

All UTS students have the opportunity to develop distinctive capabilities around transdisciplinary thinking and innovation through the TD School. Transdisciplinary education at UTS brings together great minds from different disciplines to explore ideas that improve the way we live and work in the world. These offerings are unique to UTS and directly translate to many existing and emerging roles and careers.

Diploma in Innovation

The Diploma in Innovation (C20060) teaches innovation, supports personal transformation and provides the hard skills needed to support the inventors and inventions of the future. Students come out of the Diploma in Innovation, with the hard skills to create and support sectoral and societal transformation. Graduates are able to fluently integrate ideas, across professional disciplines and are inventors of the future.

All UTS undergraduate students (with the exception of students concurrently enrolled in the Bachelor of Creative Intelligence and Innovation) can apply for the Diploma in Innovation upon admission in their chosen undergraduate degree. It is a complete degree program that runs in parallel to any undergraduate degree. The course is offered on a three-year, part-time basis, with subjects running in 3-week long intensive blocks in July, December and February sessions. More information including a link to apply is available at https://dipinn.uts.edu.au.

Transdisciplinary electives program

Transdisciplinary electives broaden students' horizons and supercharge their problem-solving skills, helping them to learn outside, beyond and across their degrees. Students enrolled in an undergraduate course that includes electives can choose to take a transdisciplinary subject (with the exception of students concurrently enrolled in the Bachelor of Creative Intelligence and Innovation). More information about the TD Electives program is available here.
