With a degree in Political Science, International Relations, Asian Societies or Public Policy, your career options are widened. Upon completion of their studies, our graduates have entered different occupations in both the public and private sectors including non-governmental organisations and international agencies.

Asian Societies Career Opportunities

Australia's physical proximity to Asia and growing ties to the region, both politically and economically, make this an interesting and exciting time. This is especially the case for those with cross-cultural communication skills. The growing desire for a better  nderstanding of the societies of the Asian region, their international roles, and expanded links between Australia and Asia, have resulted in increased employment opportunities available for Asia-literate graduates. Opportunities exist both in Australia and Asia in a variety of fields including teaching, administration, diplomacy, policing, business and trade, journalism, marketing, management, defence, aid agencies, community and social work. Recent graduates have been involved in all of these areas.
