Professional courses and general degrees
Psychology, social work, teaching and law are professional courses: accreditation decides whether you can work in the profession. Economics, international relations, communication and journalism are general degrees that lead to policy, research, media and corporate jobs. Fees are lower than in engineering or health, with several master's under A$45,000 a year.
