What can I do with a BA Hons in Journalism in Australia?

thomas1877 · December 7, 2014

Hi all,

I came over to Australia in July 2013 with a Working Holiday Visa after getting my degree and stayed in Perth for 6 months working for the Perth Glory media team before moving to Melbourne and working for a BUSINESS news website. My whole objective was to hopefully achieve sponsorship but it unfortunately didn't come to fruition and I hadn't left enough time to do the required 3 months farm work to receive a 2nd year WHV.

Basically I am very much wanting to return to Perth and I was looking for some advice on how I would go about this. I know Journalism is not a required skill on the list so I was wondering if there were any other avenues I could go down. I'm also not just stuck on working as a journalist if my degree would get me some work in another field.

Thanks for reading and any advice would be much appreciated.

You have been misinformed.

You have been misinformed.

Thanks for your reply, I had been told by multiple people that it wasn't. What would you advise for me as my next step?

My guess is:

"Consult a registered migration agent"

There will be a charge by the assessing authorities for the assessment.
