Overview
The Bachelor of Creative Intelligence and Innovation (Honours) offers training in research to prepare students for further postgraduate research study in the transdisciplinary innovation area.
This course provides students opportunities to be exposed to professional practice through engagement with industry and community mentors as well as to work on research that addresses real-world challenges. Honours also provides a pathway for students interested in pursuing postgraduate studies at masters and PhD level, and enhances graduates' career and study options.
This degree empowers its graduates to recognise and respond to real-world challenges which take a global, cultural and social justice perspective and potentially shape future workforce opportunities through contribution to knowledge.
Students in this course will engage with cutting-edge creative practices through UTS’s academic mentors to explore concepts, methods, techniques and technologies across disciplinary boundaries with the intention of provoking insights and generating knowledge in new transdisciplinary contexts.
Career options
This course equips graduates with the critical thinking, creativity and professional project skills to pursue careers in their chosen field. Specific career options depend on the student's core discipline. Graduates are also well prepared to undertake postgraduate research degrees or begin a career as a researcher.
