Creative minds with scientific skills stand out
Graduates with expertise across arts and science are highly employable. This degree builds a blend of creative, critical and analytical thinking that’s valued in government, education, communication, research and consultancy roles.
Policy Analyst
Policy analysts bring evidence and insight together to solve complex problems. They research, interpret and evaluate data to inform decisions on issues such as climate, education, energy or social reform.
Graduates who combine arts and science can bridge communication gaps between technical experts and decision-makers - a vital skill in government and industry
Science Communicator
Science communicators make research accessible to the public, helping people understand how science shapes the world around them. They work in universities, government, media, or museums, translating complex ideas into engaging stories and visuals.
This is an ideal career for students who pair a science major with creative writing, journalism, or visual arts.
