Careers
Graduates in Sociology are well prepared for an unusually wide variety of careers. As an Arts graduate, you will be experienced in planning and organizing in the short, medium and long terms and hence ideally suited to management and evaluation. Having studied Sociology, your understanding of social dynamics and social interaction means that you will be well placed for careers in personnel management, industrial relations, the Public Service and welfare. Sociology graduates attain a comprehensive and incisive view of how the social world actually functions, and so have a clear advantage in journalism, television and radio work, and marketing. Research-based expertise is portable to many areas, from small local concerns to Federal level and beyond.
All of these skills are increasingly prized by employers as Australia enters an ever more sophisticated and competitive international market. Sociologists will be very much a part of the flexible new workforce of the twenty-first century.
