After graduating from this program, I utilized my degree to gain entry into the second year of the Human Resource Management program (DT398).

When I completed my Leaving Certificate I had a few different areas of interest which made it difficult to choose what to study in College. I decided to take 2 years out of College to work and to decide on which area of the industry I was most interested in. During this period I decided to study independently online with Kilroy's College while also working full time. Kilroy's College is a distance learning institution based in Dublin where you can study online, allowing you the flexibility of studying where and when you want. 

I chose to participate in a English Literature correspondence course, which is home study course where you submit and receive assignments by post to your personal tutor. The following list is the Novels and Plays I studied as part of my correspondence course:

- Wuthering Heights
- Lord of The Flies
- Macbeth
- Juno & The Paycock
