What Can You Study with History and Geography?
Post by Eduvos, July 10, 2026.
History and Geography do more than help you understand the world. They can also help shape your future.
If you're interested in people, places, cultures, and different societies, these subjects can provide
a strong foundation for qualifications that match your interests and future goals.
Why These Subjects Matter
History and Geography help you understand how people, societies, and environments are connected.
You'll learn to ask questions, analyse information, and understand why people,
places, and events have shaped the world we live in today.
These subjects also strengthen the way you communicate, research, and think critically; skills that employers value across many industries.
One of the biggest misconceptions about History and Geography is that they only lead to careers in
education. While teaching is one option, these subjects can also support qualifications in
communications, graphic design, the humanities, human resources, law, marketing, and media.
Qualifications You Could Explore
Depending on your interests and final results, you may be able to explore qualifications such as:
Within the Bachelor of Arts qualification, you can also explore streams such as
Communication Science and English,
Law and Politics,
Law and Economics,
Media Studies,
Politics, Philosophy and Economics, and
Psychology and Political Science. The streams are well suited to students who are curious about different perspectives and how people,
governments, and organisations influence one another.
Exploring External Bursary Opportunities
Qualification availability and admission requirements may differ depending on your subject combination and final results.
Not Meeting the Requirements Yet?
If you do not yet meet the admission requirements for your ideal qualification, alternative pathways such as the
Bachelor of Arts Access Programme and the
Pre-degree Foundation Programme (Social Science) can help you build the academic foundation you need for further study.
Not having perfect marks does not automatically mean the door is closed. There may still be a pathway that helps you work towards your study goals.
Industries and Career Areas
The qualifications above can prepare you for opportunities across a wide range of industries, including communications,
the creative industries, graphic design, human resources, law, marketing, media, and public policy.
Wherever your career takes you, employers value people who can research effectively, think critically,
communicate clearly, and understand different perspectives. These are skills that will continue to
serve you throughout your studies and your career.
