Arts Question!

SirCretop

My friend wants to do radiography next year but he's not sure whether he'll get the points. If he did arts could he take radiography as a module or elective or something?? Like a back door way into the course almost?!?!?

Even if he could do an elective in it, he wouldn't be able to do it after the first semester or at best the first year - his degree would be a BA, not a BSc or whatever Radiography is. If what you're talking about was the case, then I could do Law or Medicine with like 350/360 points.

ah right thanks! i think he'd just like to do it as an elective and not really as a core subject. Cheers.

Whilst you're meant to be able to do Introduction to Radiography as an elective as far as I know they limit it to Radiography students only.

However things are constantly changing with regards to modularisation so you're best bet would be to email Cecilia Byrne who is the Degree Programme Manager for Radiography. You can contact her at cecilia.byrne@ucd.ie

SirCretop

ah right......hopefully that's not case but i'll tell him to email her to be sure to be sure. Thanks for your help!!

Last year you could definitely do intro to radiography, but it's actually quite difficult. Just generally they might be better off doing something related like science or nursing as you can get into it through mature entry.

Stepherunie

healthscience@ucd.ie is another email to contact.

And yep - I'd agree with Dajaffa, that intro from what I've heard its nothing like I did and covers interpersonal skills (it used to be a separate subject) and theory - though they did take out the rather horrible generator lectures (which still make my class weep when they think of it).

You do get the exam paper in advance however...

You get the exam paper in advance? what's the point in that - is it because its that damn tough?

Stepherunie

its actually tough enough as far as I know, like I didn't actually do it due to being a third year but apparently it is rather a lot of essays etc. Its tough if you never have actually dealt with patients.
