What employers and students say

“Arts and Humanities graduates are in demand in our organisations as they are curious, inquisitive, innovative, passionate and ethical; they see the bigger, interconnected, holistic picture in order to solve problems, and are competent in dealing with different cultures and personalites.”

Talent Managers, Macquarie Bachelor of Arts employer roundtable (Nov 2018)

“Drawing on my anthropology studies, I have been able to make recommendations about how to introduce women and older people to [stockbroking] - traditionally a young man's role.

“Arts is not as rigid a learning structure as some other degrees. You are able to explore different avenues and learn techniques to apply to everyday life."

Gabriel Imbrailo, BA (Anthropology) 2018 graduate
