Overview

Taking a transdisciplinary approach, the combined degree Bachelor of Management Bachelor of Creative Intelligence and Innovation provides a compelling combination of deep industry knowledge alongside dynamic approaches to product and service design. This program goes well beyond the design-thinking and design-led innovation programmes now common in university environments to examine how innovation is led from multiple disciplinary perspectives.

The management focus of the program provides integrated exposure to the structure, function, and operation of the socio-culturally dynamic entertainment and experience industries, with a special focus on the visitor and audience economies of events, sport business, and the digital creative sector. Featuring a strong emphasis on innovation and entrepreneurship, this course provides a compelling combination of conceptual rigour and practical knowledge, which includes opportunities for internships with industry partners and overseas exchange placements with university partners.

The creative intelligence focus of the program propels students to ‘think differently’ and to experience a new form of education. Instead of lectures and tutorials, students do hackathons, think tanks, and hot housing days in a creative lab environment during their winter and summer schools. They take ideas for a walk and trial speculative scenarios – they undertake thought experiments and engage in carefully-designed sandpit environments with creative methods and practices from across the disciplines.

In summary, this combined degree brings together multiple perspectives from diverse fields, integrating insights from the entertainment and experience industries, this allowing for the cultivation of real-world projects and self-initiated proposals, equipping graduates to address the ‘wicked’ problems, complex challenges, and untapped opportunities in today's world.

By focusing on the high-level conceptual thinking and problem-solving practices that lead to the development of innovative, creative and entrepreneurial outcomes, students of this combined degree also gain leading edge capabilities which are highly valued in the globalised world, including critical and creative thinking, invention, complexity, innovation, future scenario building and entrepreneurship, and the ability to work independently across disciplines. These creative intelligence competencies enable graduates to navigate in a rapidly changing world.

Course aims

Graduates emerge with the teamwork, leadership, business design and innovation skills required to successfully contribute to contemporary organisations in the commercial, public and not-for-profit sectors of the economy.

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).
