Leader of online media businesses
Master of Journalism
"I felt the teachers at Monash Journalism were realists, but they had the balance right, they understand you need the fundamentals but they also are open to new possibilities, models and audiences."
Career consultant
Bachelor of Business and Bachelor of Arts
"I enrolled in Arts to keep an element of creativity in my tertiary studies. Language taught me discipline due to the need to practice your skills daily in order to make progress. History requires a lot of reading, drafting, analysis and interpretation, which is a valuable skill in any career."

Singer / Songwriter
Bachelor of Music
"Studying at Monash provided me with people to talk to, a new focus on musical goals and helped me discover where I wanted to go next. I created my latest project at Monash, which has propelled my solo career. I've played about 15 festivals this year, and that was before releasing my solo EP!"
Sports Journalist, The Age
"Do other things outside of your degree. I have been a sports editor a couple of times during my career and if I was looking at a resume and that person didn't do anything outside of their degree, there's nothing that differentiates them from the next person – whether it’s starting your own blog or something else, you need to show you’re putting in extra."
Global Content Curator, World Vision
Bachelor of Global Studies
"I believe we build our jobs – just get involved with as much as you can and you’ll start carving your ideal resume and the job you want will come."
Associate Editor, FS Private Wealth at Financial Standard
"Having experience doing actual reporting and publishing stories is so important for getting a job in journalism. Knowing how to handle your sources, and treating information carefully and respectfully, the ethics side of reporting is really important."
