Where could an Arts degree take me?

Meet three inspiring UWA Arts grads who achieved big things after completing their studies in Where could an Arts degree take me?

Alumni Testimonial Deborah Katona

I stumbled into finishing a History major almost by accident. I was advised to study subjects I found interesting and was naturally drawn to the history units; they extended my knowledge and I was challenged to think critically about issues raised. After graduating, I completed the graduate program at the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, although I've also had the opportunity to fill positions with other departments within the public service. The environment I work in can be demanding and complex, and I constantly apply the critical thinking, analysis and writing skills developed during my degree course in a professional setting.

ALUMNI STORY Joshua Sanchez-Lawson

"Throw yourself into the vibrant campus culture of volunteering that UWA has to offer. There's no better way to make friends, make an impact, learn new skills and forge valuable networks all at once."

Joshua Sanchez-Lawson graduated from UWA with a Bachelor of Arts, majoring in Law and Society, and Communications and Media Studies. Read more about Joshua's story.

Arts Alumni Testimonial David Bunting

I chose Archaeology because I could merge my interests of history, geography and anthropology with the outdoors. My studies and experiences have led to a number of opportunities working with a variety of Aboriginal groups as a consultant archaeologist with a range of resources companies such as FMG, Rio Tinto, Newcrest Mining and various government departments such as Main Roads. I have worked at BHP in a variety of heritage-related roles and have since shifted to a broader role which involves community development and sustainability planning.

Jessie Gordon

Alumna story
Jessie Gordon
Bachelor of Arts Linguistics and Anthropology graduate, Jessie Gordon, is an internationally acclaimed, multi-award winning musician whose musical passions span across jazz, blues, gospel and roots music. She is a jazz blues vocalist, vintage jazz dancer, raconteur and self-proclaimed cheese enthusiast.
Jessie's passion for music has taken her around the world, touring Southeast Asia, Germany, France, Spain, Italy and the UK. She has won 15 Music and Cabaret awards at FRINGE WORLD Festival and has received 22 nominations. Jessie has collaborated with local Perth bands including Sassafras, Apocalypse Lounge, The Dirty Blues Band, Perth Cabaret Collective, and the Anatomically Incorrect Gentlemen, and recently released two albums with her original music, A Work of Fiction and Best Friends.
My degree
In 2004, Jessie graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree majoring in Linguistics and Anthropology. Following graduation, she undertook an honours year in anthropology and began a PhD which she never completed, having succumbed to the lure of bright stage lights.

Have you ever seen a connection between Linguistics and jazz? As a matter of fact, many singers take a keen interest in the way linguistics helps understand languages. Here's what Jessie has to say about it:

"For me the intersection of language and music provides a constant tension in performance. There are so many interpretations of a melody that can support the lyric of a tune, or provide a counterpoint to it. I use the skills I learned in my arts degree every day to think analytically about musical and lyrical content and find new ways to interpret and communicate on stage.

Anthropology changed the way I looked at the world. I can't emphasise enough the impact it had on me. I still remember the profound revelation I experienced studying gender and sexuality, and also healing and medicine, through an anthropological lens."

Why UWA?
"I chose to study at UWA because my dad was a lecturer in Anthropology there, and he was a big part of my choice to continue to postgraduate studies. He very cunningly convinced me that I could combine my interests of music, dance, gender studies and anthropology all at the same time. He's a very clever man."

Successful applicants who gain a place in the Graduate Certificate in Autism Diagnosis will be required to complete the seven micro-credential courses that comprise the first two coursework units (PSYC5520 and PSYC5521).
The units PSYC5520 and PSYC5521 are not available to be studied in the course and will be credited upon successful completion of the micro-credential courses PSYCM510, PSYCM511, PSYCM512, PSYCM513, PSYCM514, PSYCM515, and PSYCM516.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many students do you accept into the GCAD per year?

Usually about 15-25 each year/in each cohort, sometimes a few more and sometimes a few less depending on how many applicants meet the admission requirements, and teacher-student ratio in the applied/practical units PSYC5522 and PSYC5523.

Do I have to have previous clinical experience assessing or supporting autistic individuals to be offered a place in the GCAD?

Previous or current clinical experience assessing and/or supporting autistic children, young people or adults is not essential (relevant clinical experience with children, adolescents or adults is required), but it is always helpful and is therefore desirable. Please ensure to outline any autism relevant experience in your CV and/or personal statement. We have accepted applicants who have limited experience working with autistic individuals but who are currently in roles where they can apply their GCAD training.

Do I need to live in or travel to Perth to study the GCAD?

The course is now delivered fully online, therefore we accept students from all over Australia. We also accept applicants from New Zealand. You do not need to live or travel to Perth to complete the course.

We are currently not able to accept international applicants outside of Australia and New Zealand for our 2025 GCAD intake. However, professionals outside of Australia and New Zealand who are interested in further developing their knowledge in autism diagnosis can enrol and complete one or more of the autism diagnosis microcredential courses available for enrolment via UWA Plus.

How long will it take me to complete the GCAD?

The GCAD is completed part-time. This means you can study the GCAD part-time while working. You can choose to complete the GCAD part-time in one or in two calendar years.
The Tables below show the approximate structure and timeline for part-time study over one or two years.

What is the GCAD's approach to understanding, diagnosing and supporting autistic people?

The GCAD is informed by Australian and other international guidelines for the assessment and diagnosis of autism. We adopt a lifespan approach and consider identification and diagnosis to be an important step towards understanding, accepting, and supporting autistic people. The program staff view autism as a difference and adopt neuroaffirming and respectful language and perspectives. The autism diagnosis microcredential courses and GCAD units draw from evidence from co-produced research with autistic people and the lived experiences of autistic people. We explore social issues and barriers relating to diagnosis. We also explore and reflect on autistic people's experiences of the diagnostic process and the ways in which a respectful and collaborative diagnostic process can be implemented.
