Hey John,
I study French here in Maynooth and honestly, you'd be absolutely grand with a B. Their acceptance band is anyone who gets a grade of HC3 or above and that is certainly true. Also, if you end up here in Maynooth, you get three weeks to finalise your course decisions, so if you end up not liing French you can drop it within these 3 weeks.
And as for Erasmus, I didn't do it so can't tell you much about it. But hope I've helped you

In the second semester you will study Constitutional Law 2, Contract Law 2 and Administrative Law. First semester you will have 4 hours, 2 hours each. Second semester you will have 6 hours, 2 hours of each. Usually you will have 1 hour of tutorials a week. This year the timetable for law was horrible, most notably having 3 hours of law on a friday afternoon.
I found all 3 modules interesting, in particular Constitutional Law as I have an interest in history and politics. Administrative Law is closely connected with Constitutional Law and both modules are taught by the same lecturer. I found Contract to be interesting as well. The lectures can be tedious but if you do the readings and look at the notes you will be able to handle the modules.
Even though this degree is new the Law department are making huge in roads into getting this degree talked about in the same way as law degrees in the other universities. There is the possibility to study abroad in 3rd year or do a year internship with a major Irish law firm. The lecturers are some of the best in the country and even internationally. The law students themselves have set up a Law Society and a Law Newsletter.
I highly recommend this degree. If you have any questions feel free to ask
Kiwi_Knock gave a really good summary here that I would agree with. Also in Law and absolutely loving it!
The lectures are interesting but can get as tedious as any subject when you aren't in the mood, workload isn't too tough either as long as you try to keep on top of your study! Something I could've done better!
We also plan on having law nights out for all the years next year as well which will give you an opportunity to know those in other years who can help you!
P.S. Join the Law Newsletter! Tis awesome!
Hee hee starting my PR already!0 -

If all goes to plan next years law 1st years will have the best preparation for their course, the best support for meeting new people, and of course the opportunity to help with the Law Newsletter. Obviously being helping with the Newsletter is way more important than making friends and learning about your course.0 -

I don't think you have a choice in taking it or not in first year. I could be entirely wrong though!
Apparently all you need is a B in ordinary level and you'll be sorted. I know people who've done that course with a B at ordinary level and haven't had many problems. Once you put the effort in and attend lectures you'd be fine I'd say. There's services available for those who have problems with maths too, extra tuition and stuff.0 -

Ah ok.
You'll get on grand once you keep up with the work and recognise that you need help if you start having difficulties. 0 -

Just finished it on Thursday
I loved it overall. It is very challenging and leaving everything till the last minute won't do.
The hours are ok, i think you may have Friday off in 1st year with the rest of the classes all over the place.
You can look up timetables for last years 1st years on the website.
Good luck0 -
Im just after doing first year, I really liked it. Word of warning though if you really really dont like maths do the business and accounting course instead The maths end of it is tough, but if your willing to put the work in you will be ok. If you want to pm me anymore questions work away 0

European studies is exactly the same as Arts, same classes, everything, except in first year you have one extra lecture per week and in second year you have one extra lecture every two weeks.
Geography in first year you take 4 compulsory modules, two in human geography, two in physical geography. Physical is grand, I'd say 50% is the same kind of topics as leaving cert just in much more detail, the rest are new topics.
Human geography is quite interesting, could possibly be compared to sociology/anthropology. Entire course is stuff you most likely won't have studied before. Second semester is totally continuous assessment (well it was when I did it two years ago) where as the first semester is half CA (two ica's) half exam.
By putting any amount of effort in to first year geography it is easy to do well.
Second year geography there are loads of different modules you can take.
Political, Natural hazards and disasters, cultural, urban, historical and colonial, social, hydrology, economic, it goes on and on. There are 2 compulsory modules (one in each semester - if you are doing european studies then you don't take these classes) which are entirely CA. Revolves primarily around a semester long project which you then present/write up (depending on the class) Really interesting course and well taught.0 -

Thank you for the reply michelleman, just in regards to the european studies, how does the erasmus program work in year three and say if i do spanish where abouts in spain do i go to? and will the things that you study there be the same as was thought in nui maynooth?
