Further Information and Strategies
Undertake internships, work experience and vacation work during your studies.
Join professional associations (e.g. Australian Historical Association and Australian Academy of the Humanities) as a student member to gain knowledge about the profession.
Professional openings in which you will be using your major directly are usually linked to having completed further study at the higher degree level or equivalent. Some examples of jobs for specialists are: linguist, sociologist, academic researcher and French teacher.
Some graduates broaden their career options through extra studies, such as graduate diplomas in a different area (e.g. in business or public relations) or graduate entry to other undergraduate courses (e.g. Law)
Additional studies can help you to pursue new occupations. Further studies at the TAFE level are often acceptable ‘post’ graduate qualifications for jobs.
