YOUR FUTURE BY FACULTY
|

AGRICULTURE & ENVIRONMENT
A Sydney degree in the agricultural and environment fields can lead to work in a wide range of public and private sector fields, such as commodity trading, international development, economic research, journalism, plant breeding, agronomy, water management, environmental sustainability and carbon research.
Whichever field you choose, you’ll find that demand for our graduates outstrips supply. Our surveys show that graduates find employment quickly, with almost 80 percent in paid employment after three months and earning higher‑than-average starting salaries.

ARCHITECTURE, DESIGN & PLANNING
Our graduates are making a difference across the world. Examples include Louise Cox, current president of the International Union of Architects; Andrew Andersons, who oversaw the design of the Beijing Olympics Water Cube swimming complex; and Paul Pholeros, HealthyHabitat founder and Indigenous housing pioneer.
In response to a shortfall in the marketplace for designers with technical and programming knowledge, our design computing courses prepare you to enter a wide range of fields. These include marketing communications, graphic design, app and game development, web design and development, interaction design, information design and analysis and fields that don’t even exist yet!

ARTS & SOCIAL SCIENCES
After completing a degree in arts and social sciences, you will be recognised by employers as someone with excellent communication, research and analytical skills – all of which are highly sought-after attributes in the business world.
We’ve helped sharpen the minds of some of Australia’s most prominent thinkers, such as Germaine Greer, whose stimulating ideas still resonate today, John Bell, who has made Shakespeare relevant and exciting to contemporary audiences, and Arts/Law graduate James Wolfensohn, who became known as ‘banker to the world’ as president of the World Bank.

DENTISTRY
If you choose the oral health course, you will graduate with a respected qualification enabling you to work as an oral health hygienist or therapist with skills in oral health promotion and education.
If you go on to complete the Doctor of Dental Medicine you will then graduate as a fully qualified dentist.
Depending on your passions and goals, your career as a dentist may lead you into a mix of private and public sector practice. Either way, your degree from Sydney, which is informed by the full spectrum of research-intensive disciplines, will equip you to become a highly skilled and reflective practitioner.

You will graduate with a globally recognised degree. Our courses are accredited by relevant bodies: the NSW Institute of Teachers and the Australian Association of Social Workers.

Our social work graduates have real-world problem-solving and communication skills in key areas including health, ageing, child and family, drug and alcohol and women’s services. You could follow in the footsteps of Emily Moran, one of our recent social work graduates, who has already been named UK Social Worker of the Year.
