"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."

"That was the plan – to study really hard in my first year of arts then transfer to law in second year. I tried but it didn’t happen, which in hindsight is a great thing, as I think if I had gotten into law my parents would have made me give up muesli."

Digital Propositions Lead, Royal Bank of Scotland
"The creativity and analytical thinking that you get from an Arts degree cannot be underestimated. These are the type of skills I use in my own work day-to-day. It has also set me apart from others in the industry, as my undergrad is a little bit different to other people who are going for marketing jobs."
Forensic Senior Consultant, KPMG Australia
"When I originally applied for KPMG, I didn’t think I would be a preferred candidate as I didn’t have a qualification in finance or accounting. However, it turned out that this was a very outdated way of thinking about the business. Instead, I’ve been able to provide a different perspective which is considered very valuable."
Operations Manager, China-Australia Chamber of Commerce (AustCham)
