A degree in printmaking can help graduates secure various creative positions in the art world such as screen printer, pre-press designer, print manager, art curator, and graphic designer. Some students go on to create their own graphics or printing businesses while others may choose to become art educators.

Australia has a subsidized higher education for students pursuing the undergraduate degrees. They also give loan and grants for the post graduate students. Higher learning starts at undergraduate degree level to a doctoral degree offered in any field of study.
