Career opportunities

An honours degree prepares you for the higher research degrees and a career in academic research. Equally, it is highly regarded by employers and well recognised as a step beyond a traditional undergraduate degree in the application of theory and practicum. Politics and public policy provide opportunities administering advice to government and business leaders, developing policy and managing programs in areas such as economic, environmental and social policy, diplomacy and trade relations. As a graduate with strong analytical and critical thinking skills, you will be prepared for a broad range of sectors including the government, international organisations, media, political parties, a range of business environments and the not-for-profit sector. An international relations qualification gives you a huge range of employment options in Australia and internationally. You could find a job in foreign ministries, defence departments, intelligence and aid organisations. You could also work in political risk assessment and humanitarian logistics, or for organisations such as the United Nations and its agencies.
