    Arts in UCC, eh?
    Don't do it myself but I've quite a few friends who have. Most of them did Sociology and ALL those who did absolutely hated it. So stay away from that, methinks.
    Most of them also do Irish, and they enjoy the Irish course. Economics and Politics are also quite good subjects to do, I've heard.
    There's 2 maths options: Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences. The former is more advanced stuff, like Science/Engineering students would be doing (Calculus, Linear Algebra, Abstract Algebra etc.)
    Mathematical Sciences, on the other hand, is kind of a "watered down" version. If you like maths but are not particularly good at it, this would be ideal.
    Languages are pretty tough, I've heard they involve a lot of dedication. But the good thing is if you hate a subject in 1st year you can just drop it in 2nd year :)
    I can't really tell you much more, and all I can tell you is stuff I heard from others (so my advice is a little dubious!!) The UCC website can tell you more (it knows everything!)

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,174 ✭✭✭1huge1


    Ya electronic engineering is a good choice, my brother does it in maynooth and loves it. You'd want to be fairly handy at maths though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 256 ✭✭johnny-fatality


    thanks for the arts advice :
    lets go try and earn it now on wednesday!
    cheers

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 72 ✭✭NervyChick


    I am going to do early childhood education in Carlow I.T, Level 8, 3 years... hopefully graduate from it with good results and do the 18 months h.dip course in st.pats in dub and become a primary school teacher.. Dont worry im carrying higher irish (barely :D)

    Anyone done Business and Arts Management at IADT? I believe it's just the course for me but if anyone has a personal experience I'd love to know!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13 xox Sarah xox


    Im doing an art portfolio plc course in september and I know the general basics of the core year in NCAD but I was just wondering whats it like?? whatre the people like there and is there any pressure involved when you get started?:confused:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4 Barrys-Tea


    Anyone with info on Media Arts DIT or Photography IADT...? I cant decide!


  • Registered Users Posts: 89 ✭✭hoggie-bear


    Hi,
    If anyone is doing journalism in DIT could you PM me?
    I'd reall appreciate it


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 122 ✭✭DowneyBookGirl


    Info on Journalism in DIT (minus language) and DCU would be greatly appreciated by me too. I know the points and min. requirements but chances are I may not pass ord maths. (yes, I'm that bad unfortunately) But my other subjects are quite good. I like the idea of Arts in Maynooth as a safety valve but if the journalism courses are worth doing then I might just take a year out and repeat maths. Yay or nay?

    Hi guys,

    I'm sorry if an answer to this has already been posted but I didn't have time to look through all 18 pages.

    I was wondering if anyone did/does Religions and Theology in Trinity?

    I know all about the points and that but I'd really like to hear someone's thoughts on it.

    Thanks so much. :)

    i met a guy last year who's doing it and really likes it - you study all sorts of things like hebrew and ancient greek and is apparently fiercely interesting! :)
    fair enough :D

    I currently have Digital Media Design in UL at the top of my CAO...

    any opinions on it? It's a fairly new course isnt it?

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3 chessie.horton


    Thanks Livo, I've heard the same, and the Hebrew/Ancient Greek stuff is optional further on into the course, I'll definitely choose the Ancient Greek option! That'll be SO cool!

    Anyone here apply for any of the BA Connect Programme in Arts NUIG??
    Wondering what the interest levels are, particularly in the Creative Writing one!:p

    I really want to do acting but i havent a clue where to start any idea's?? I didnt make the interviews etc this year as i wasnt aware of the time


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 47 Livo


    i think it's a wee bit late to enter for university courses in acting now, most of them usually require you to do an exam beforehand in acting... best bet would prob be to do a one-year course in something and apply again next year? or maybe just do a course in something else and join the drama society or something?? :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 462 ✭✭Ekels


    Law and Accouting, UL.

    Any insight?

    Anyone for Corp Law in NUIG?
    Doesn't seem to be much interest anwhere!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 64 ✭✭melboix


    A friend of mine was gonna do Corp Law, changed her mind since but it sounded pretty cool.

    Arts in NUIG anyone? :P Or better yet, Film & Media in Stirling Uni? I'm split between the two, still depends on grades though. 5 B's for Stirling.

    I'm doing Engineering in Trinity. Should be good. They teach you all the types of engineering and develop your problem solving skills so you can do nearly anything when you graduate. I'm probably gonna be a civil engineer but if you have an engineering degree from trinity you can work in any job that requires good problem solving skills. If you like maths, physics or how things work and like solving problems you should do it. From what I've heard it's a great course! Really well paid and fun jobs aswell.

    I'm really interested in doing Psychology, so any info on that would be great!

    Also anyone who went to Maynooth, I'd love to hear what you thought of it, thats where I'm planning to go if I get the points!!

    Oh and does anybody know how difficult it is to get into Psychology through Arts in Maynooth? Because I might not get the points, would I be better off just repeating to get the points, instead of waiting three years after getting an Arts degree and maybe not getting into Psychology at all??

    Thanks guys, I'm really confused!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20 **simone**


    English in UCD anyone????


    OR.. Journalism in DCU???

    I do Psychology in Maynooth :) I'm in the PS106 stream, but it's pretty stressful for the people competing for places. Have you thought about trying psychology through science? Points are a lot lower for that :)

    To get in through arts you need an A/B average, which isn't TOO hard to obtain.

    I like the course and it's great getting to do 2 arts subjects as I really enjoyed them too. Looking forward to second year :) PM me if you want to ask anything


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 79 ✭✭scholes19


    The new course in maynooth,business and law (MH406), does anybody know what the points for gaining entry are gonna be like? Also i wonder if this couse is of quality in comparison to others namely DN021 which is interestingly 4yrs were maynooth is a 3yr course!

    anybody got any positive contribution or are doing DN021,replies appreciated!;)
