Where can an Arts Degree take you? There is often a debate about the value of an Arts Degree and what kind of role an Arts graduate could find in industry. The list of roles is quite varied, and includes -

Teaching and educational administration
International aid and trade agencies
Arts production and management
Public service and social welfare agencies
General management and administration (local and global)
Communications industry, publishing, media, and public relations
Tourism and hospitality

One of the very important things for students to note is that an Arts student learns skills that are very transferrable in industry.

These include communication skills, critical thinking and reading skills, analytical skills, and research skills – browse Career FAQS - What to do with your Arts Degree to learn more.

Monash University recently shared an excellent YouTube video about a Career with a Bachelor of Arts.
