YOUR CAREER WITH<br />

AN ARTS DEGREE<br />

“The rigorous intellectual<br />

training I got in UCC in<br />

terms of research, analysing<br />

evidence, challenging<br />

orthodoxies and learning<br />

from the past, has been<br />

of the greatest benefit to<br />

me as a Planner and as<br />

an activist in developing<br />

successful strategies for<br />

social change.”<br />

Kieran Rose<br />

SENIOR PLANNER<br />

DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL<br />

I studied History and Geography in UCC. <br />

I particularly liked courses on the history of<br />

economic thought and the theory of science.<br />

I enjoyed my time in UCC hugely. I became<br />

Auditor of the Historical Society and was a<br />

founder member of Eco-Action. I later went on<br />

to UCD to do a post-graduate qualification in<br />

planning and have worked as a Planner ever<br />

since. The rigorous intellectual training I got in<br />

UCC in terms of research, analysing evidence,<br />

challenging orthodoxies and learning from the<br />

past, has been of the greatest benefit to me<br />

as a Planner and as an activist in developing<br />

successful strategies for social change.<br />
