YOUR CAREER WITH AN ARTS DEGREE “ After completing irst year I realised my real passion was for the mathematics and applied mathematics modules.” Dhani Merrick RESEARCHER IN THE INSIGHT CENTRE FOR DATA ANALYTICS/CeADAR (CENTRE FOR APPLIED DATA ANALYTICS RESEARCH) Physics was by far my favourite leaving cert subject so the BSc in Physics and Astrophysics in UCC seemed like an obvious irst choice for my CAO application. After completing irst year I realised my real passion was for the mathematics and applied mathematics modules. At the start of second year participants choose to specialise in Astrophysics, Physics, Chemical Physics, Physics and Mathematics or Physics and Applied Mathematics. This meant I had no opportunity to study both Mathematics and Applied Mathematics. I contacted the College of Arts, Celtic studies and Social Sciences, as I was aware that these subjects were offered as part of the BA programme. My application to transfer was approved and I graduated with a BA Joint Hons Mathematics and Applied Mathematics in 2013. Following graduation I applied for the MSc in Data Science in Analytics in UCC. My application was accepted largely due to the analytical and problem-solving skills I acquired through the BA subjects. I graduated top of my class and acquired the top result in at least 4 modules. Three days after I completed my thesis I began working as a researcher in The Insight Centre for Data Analytics/CeADAR (Centre for Applied Data Analytics Research) based in UCC.
