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

YOUR CAREER WITH AN ARTS DEGREE “My undergrad experience was thoroughly worthwhile; while I got to delve further into particular areas of interest as the degree progressed, I also realise, in retrospect, that I was acquiring many skills which have prepared me for the position I’m in today.” Sinead Murphy EDITORIAL ASSISTANT FOR ROWMAN & LITTLEFIELD INTERNATIONAL, LONDON I completed my joint BA in English and Philosophy at UCC in 2009; where I then furthered my studies with the MA in English Modernities. My undergrad experience was thoroughly worthwhile; while I got to delve further into particular areas of interest as the degree progressed, I also realise, in retrospect, that I was acquiring many skills which have prepared me for the position I’m in today. I now work as an Editorial Assistant for Rowman & Littlefield International - an academic publisher in London. We publish monographs and edited collections in the Social Sciences - including Philosophy! I’m fortunate that I find myself in a role where my academic background enhances my ability to do my job. The bonus for me is that I get to keep up to date with current research in the Social Sciences and haven’t had to completely sever ties with these areas of interest.
