I am not sure what i want to do after college would Engineering in trinity be a good broad option?

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!!!

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

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!;)

DN021 and MH406 are my no.1 and no.2

Haven't heard any feedback on either but I really like the idea of DN021 and they sold it very well at the open day... No idea on points for Maynooth but I'd imagine a good bit lower than UCD.. Anyone think UCD points might go up this year for that course, as they announced an increase in first pref's for it..

Either one for me will mean moving.. :cool:

Can anyone tell me about Commerce (Business With Chinese Studies) in UCD? It was 455 last year but I suppose thatll drop. What are the hours like though? What college/part of China do you spend the erasmus year in? Is there a lot of maths in the first two years? And then what are the majors like? Is Marketing a good major? I wouldn't really like to have a major which was really mathematically demanding. I'm good at Maths just I wouldnt like doing it all the time

Im after putting that down on my CAO, but why do you suppose it'll drop, I hope your right.

Ive commerice with chinese in UCC down 1st though which is only 405.

Hey leavo08,
There is a good bit of maths in BESS. I did ordinary level for the leaving and I though the maths was pretty tough but not impossible. If you work hard at it, you'll do ok because it's manageable. Everyone who did higher level maths for their leaving cert thought it was absolutley fine but there's no avoiding it. You're marked on maths attendance too so you can look at that as good or bad...
There's loads of maths in economics too. I don't know if you did economics before- I hadn't and I found it really, really boring.

On the upside if you're looking to do law, you can start a law module straight away in first year. I have to say, it's a really excellent class with a really entertaining lecturer. I personally thought it was the best part of BESS. The class is desgined specifically for people NOT studying law though but it'd give you the general jist of law and the workload is pretty light. There's only two lectures a week in first year though so if I was you, i'd look for something else more directed at law. Four years is a long time to wait to have to start another degree!

Hope this helps

I might be wrong but I think if you do pure business in Trinity instead of BESS, you have to take a language aswell. I'm not sure if you get that law module option but a lot of the classes cross over so I'd say so.
Have you considered the new law courses starting in Maynooth this year? Law and business and law and arts? They sound like great courses and the points probably won't be as high as Trinity!

anyone looking to do contempory culture and social science in DCU. code is DC238 ?! Anyone ???!
