### Athlone Town

Benson began his career with [Athlone Town](/wiki/Athlone_Town_F.C. "Athlone Town F.C."), making his debut against [Waterford United](/wiki/Waterford_United "Waterford United") in the [Regional Sports Centre](/wiki/Regional_Sports_Centre "Regional Sports Centre") on 3 October 2008\. He spent the following two seasons playing in the [First Division](/wiki/League_of_Ireland_First_Division "League of Ireland First Division") with the club. After achieving 600 points in his Leaving Certificate examinations, Benson gained a scholarship with [UCD](/wiki/UCD_A.F.C. "UCD A.F.C.") in September 2010\. This allowed him to combine his academic studies with football, and he majored in chemistry and maths before earning a master's degree in actuarial science.


Is it possible to earn a master's degree in actuarial science without first earning a bachelor's degree?
