Why Campion

Career Prospects

Liberal arts degrees produce graduates who can adapt and thrive in an ever-changing world. They are flexible in their work environment and outlook, possess superior communication skills and are capable of reasoned and critical analysis. This opens up employment opportunities in a range of fields including media, education, law, business, medicine, evangelisation, politics and more.

Upon completion of a liberal arts degree, a student will enter:

  • Graduate Jobs – Step directly into roles in business, media, ministry, research, administration and public service.
  • Graduate Programs – Pursue structured programs that refine your skills and provide a strong start to careers in government or the private sector.
  • Postgraduate Study – Advancing into professions like law, teaching, or healthcare by combining your liberal arts foundation with postgraduate qualifications.

The pathway chosen will vary depending on individual preferences and the chosen profession or industry. All Campion College students have access to career mentoring to help determine the best pathways to achieve their goals.
