Undertake internships, work experience and vacation work during your studies.
Professional openings in fields related directly to your major are usually linked to having a qualification to at least honours year or postgraduate diploma level. In the research field you may even need to complete further academic studies (eg. Masters or PhD level). Some examples of jobs for specialists include meteorologist and biotechnologist.
Some graduates broaden their career options through extra studies, such as graduate diplomas in a different area (eg. Education), or graduate entry to other undergraduate courses (eg. Medicine or Law). Additional studies can help you to pursue new occupations. Examples of jobs include marketing officer, school teacher and human resources consultant.
Join professional associations (e.g. Science and Technology Australia) as a student member to gain knowledge about the profession.
