YOUR CAREER WITH<br />
AN ARTS DEGREE<br />
“In 2013 I became the<br />
youngest art gallery<br />
Director in Queensland,<br />
Australia and there<br />
is no doubt that I<br />
would not have gained<br />
a position of such<br />
responsibility so young<br />
<strong>with</strong>out my education.”<br />
Nicola Holly<br />
GALLERY DIRECTOR, STANTHORPE REGIONAL<br />
ART GALLERY, QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA<br />
It has been said to me on several occasions by prospective<br />
employers that my education was what impressed them<br />
most on my CV. I completed a BA in English and History of<br />
Art in 2008 in UCC and enjoyed the experience so much<br />
that I remained <strong>with</strong> the arts faculty to gain a Masters in<br />
Modern and Contemporary Art. I found my lecturers to be<br />
incredibly encouraging and accessible throughout my time<br />
at UCC. I felt they believed in me and constantly inspired<br />
me to push myself <strong>with</strong> my research. In 2013 I became the<br />
youngest art gallery Director in Queensland, Australia and<br />
there is no doubt that I would not have gained a position<br />
of such responsibility so young <strong>with</strong>out my education.<br />
Working in the arts is dynamic, interesting and thoroughly<br />
entertaining. Although it’s a cliché, no two days are<br />
the same, especially when dealing <strong>with</strong> artists! I would<br />
encourage anyone interested in the arts to follow their<br />
dreams and take up a humanities degree at UCC.<br />
