      In my last year of secondary school, I took English, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Statistics, Advanced Functions, and Calculus. During my undergraduate degree (Level 8, which I call university but in Ireland you call it college), I took many different science courses, but I focused on different types of Biology and Psychology. What interested me the most was animal behaviour (a mix of biology and psychology), physiology, and evolution, so those were the courses that I focused on towards the end of my degree. During my Master’s degree (level 9), I focused more on animal behaviour, but I combined it with my background of growing up on a dairy farm.
