Senior Associate, Pyne & Partners
Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Global Studies
"In the age of AI, critical thinking, something an arts degree develops exceptionally well, is more important than ever. AI can automate tasks, but it can’t replace sound judgment, strategic thinking, or the ability to negotiate across cultures and backgrounds."
Senior Business Development Manager and Senior Executive Assistant Manager, Trip.com Group
Master of Communications and Media Studies
"Studying in Australia gave me a strong global mindset. Group projects taught me to adapt my communication style, be direct but respectful, and listen deeply to different perspectives. It was my first international study experience and it helped me understand how to bridge cultural gaps ...These lessons continue to shape how I work today."
Assistant Chief of Staff & Journalist, ABC News Melbourne
Bachelor of Media Communication
"I looked at a few universities, but Monash was one of my top preferences. I was set on being a journalist, even if I didn’t fully understand what that really entailed. Once I started, I stuck with journalism all the way through. The newsrooms, the mock‑up studios, the equipment… I don’t think people realise how well equipped and resourced Monash is until they’re actually in the degree."
Consultant, Publicis Groupe
Bachelor of Arts
"Studying Arts at Monash was a turning point in my life. Drawn by a passion for media and communications since childhood, I found Monash to be the perfect blend of academic excellence, global perspective, and personal growth. The experience shaped my mindset, building independence, critical thinking, and cross-cultural communication. Today, I credit Monash for giving him the skills, confidence, and platform to thrive in global strategic communications and make my dreams a reality."
Communications Advisor, Liberal Party of Australia
Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Education (Honours); Juris Doctor
"My Monash Arts degree did more than prepare me for a career; it reshaped the way I read the world. It taught me to sift history for wisdom, to test ideas with rigour, and to keep empathy, ethics and open dialogue at the heart of any path ahead of me. In an age of noise and fracture, the humanities steady our true north: they remind us who we are, what we defend, and how we lead with understanding. An Arts degree does not simply make you job-ready; it makes you future-ready."
Multicultural Affairs Policy Officer, Department of Premier and Cabinet (Vic)

"The breadth and openness of Arts turned out to be its biggest strength, it gave me space to explore, learn, and be brave. I’d tell my younger self: trust the process, be open, and don’t forget to enjoy the ride, because my degree wasn’t just about learning; it was about unlocking opportunities that have shaped and continue to shape my career."
Manager, Tourism and Premium Visitation, Museums Victoria
"Studying Arts at Monash gave me the foundation to explore a global career in media and tourism. It taught me to think critically, adapt quickly, and connect meaningfully across cultures. Those early networks and experiences shaped not just my career path, but the values I bring to every role."

Communications Coordinator, The Royal Children’s Hospital Foundation
"I’ve been fortunate enough to combine both my interests—writing and making an impact—and embark on a truly rewarding career.

Registry Officer (Drug and Alcohol Treatment Court), County Court of Victoria
Bachelor of Criminology
"Studying criminology opens your mind to justice beyond punishment. It teaches you to think critically, challenge broken systems, and seek real change. Through theory and hands-on experience, you learn to support people, not just process them—becoming a force for fairness, compassion, and transformation in a complex world."
Senior Policy Adviser, Department of Jobs, Skills, Industry and Regions
Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Commerce and Master of Public Policy
"The multidisciplinary approach of combining social sciences was extremely valuable for me. The degree doesn’t push you down a specific pathway, but that’s the beauty of it—it opens up options. When I chose my degree at 18 years old I wasn’t entirely sure where it would take me, but it gave me the flexibility to find what I like and pursue it."
