YOUR CAREER WITH<br />
AN ARTS DEGREE<br />
“The degree allowed me<br />
to experience a large<br />
range of areas within<br />
psychology. I had a<br />
keen interest in culture,<br />
beliefs, conflict within<br />
society, and what is<br />
liminal, which my studies<br />
in English facilitated.”<br />

ASSISTANT DIRECTOR AT <br />
ACT NOW IRELAND<br />
I wanted to become a psychologist. English and Psychology<br />
were my main subjects in my Arts degree. The degree<br />
allowed me to experience a large range of areas within<br />
psychology. I had a keen interest in culture, beliefs, conflict<br />
within society, and what is liminal, which my studies in<br />
English facilitated. Then I completed the HDip in Applied<br />
Psychology in UCC to allow for further progression. I spent a<br />
lot of time researching the different avenues to qualifying as<br />
a psychologist. In my spare time I was gathering volunteering<br />
experience via societies and clubs. Afterwards I enrolled<br />
in the Masters in Psychological Science in UCD and then<br />
finished a Doctorate in Counselling Psychology in TCD. Now<br />
I’m the assistant director of a therapy group, work part time<br />
as a psychologist in the HSE, and conduct cognitive and<br />
personality assessment for another company.<br />
