    I'm in 6th year and the CAO choices are stressing me more than the leaving cert itself.
    It's extremely difficult to chose a single course and I really need advice...

    I love maths and physics, but dont like labs and experiments, so TP looks appealling!

    But bioengineering is extremely tempting as advances in this field will actually help people...it has a cause to work for etc. (Also I do biology and enjoy the subject). Nuerosensory looks pretty amazing!

    But if I do engineering, I'll be missing out on lots of modern physics (like particle physics) which really interest me.

    Is there any sort of compromise available in TCD, (like maybe doing TP then a pHD in something close to bioengineering, i dont know if thats possible)

    THE CHOICE IS DRIVING ME NUTS, any help or insights are appreciated!

    Choice is up to you in the end but I know the Biomedical Engineering course in NUIG is a good one and has a high graduate employment rate. It is very heavy in maths and physics though.
