WHY STUDY ARTS?
There’ s no better place to study Arts than at Monash.
Our students choose Arts at Monash because they want to make real change. And we prepare them for it by teaching them to question, analyse and interpret the social, political and ethical dynamics of a world of geopolitical upheavals, cultural diversity, and technological transformations.
Our degrees encourage the curiosity to learn new things, the passion to discover new perspectives, and the courage to challenge the status quo – unique qualities that will be in critical demand as governments, businesses and communities seek to understand the intricacies of increasingly interconnected, techno-digital societies.
I double-majored in Global Studies and Communications, along with a minor in Applied Economics. Personally, I’ ve always had two potential career paths in mind – one towards the more creative field of writing and advertising, and another that yearns to delve into global politics and macroeconomics. Monash was one of the few universities that offered the flexibility and autonomy of choosing a combination of such areas of specialisation, which I felt aligned well with my preference.”
