Very sorry to hear about your mum.
I've just finished HPSS (sniff, sniff). Really interesting course and I'm really glad I picked it (it was my first choice, followed by Arts in NUIG/UCC/Mary I). UL is also absolutely savage... Call me biased, but I wouldn't pick any where else! I've friends in other colleges who agree that there's something special about UL. Personally, I think it's the fact that it's all based on one campus and everyone lives in the one area so it creates a real little microcosm of its own. PM me if you want any more info!
And the very best of luck to you and everyone else! Once it's over you'll never look back!

Thanks. The weird thing, the course dropped down to 360 points. My friends sister did it and she said she got to go to some really cool places like Sweden in the winter.
I'm wondering what sort of job are you looking for now?0 -

Yup, as part of the course you spend one semester (term) on work experience - I did mine as a civil servant with the Oireachtas Joint Committee for European Affairs in and you also spend another semester on Erasmus (study abroad) - I went to Warsaw, Poland (there are loads of places to choose from!) for 5 months. Brilliant experience and lots of travelling!
I'm hoping to get into journalism eventually, but I'm taking it easy before looking for a career! I was elected as the Publications and Publicity Officer with the Students' Union in UL for the coming year (so if you do come to UL drop in and say hello) which basically means I'm one of five student representatives. I'm also in charge of the student newspaper, the magazine, website, and PR relating to the Students' Union.
A lot of my friends are doing further study, with a view to getting into development/international relations/humanitarian aid. Some are planning on teaching - including teaching English abroad. It's a very broad course that won't confine you to a narrow range of career options. Don't worry about jobs just yet - a humanities degree is a great way of broadening your horizons and widening your perspectives on things! You'll probably find that what job you see yourself doing now is not where you end up at the end of the degree! That's not necessarily a bad thing, though!!

Theoretical Physics (TCD)
Maths (TCD)
Computer Science, Linguistics and Irish (TCD)
Visual Communications (DIT)
Science (TCD)
and.. yeah, I dunno. Things like that. CSLL seems to tend to be AQA so provided I got a B3 in Irish that'd be my lowest points one. Had architecture in DIT down as well but I didn't go to the interview so I don't rate my chances.

hahahaha
TR033 Computer Science (TCD) is my number 1.
Computer Applications (DCU) 2nd
Then I've to change the order of mine, so it'll be something like:
Computer Science (DIT)
Business Information Systems (NCI)
That's all I have. No level 7/6 courses.0 -
