"Does anyone do this course and want to tell me about it?"

euwwy deuwwy

Well I was hoping to do financial and actuarial studies in DCU. It's about 490 but I've kinda gone off it now and I havn't got a clue what i want to do now. I'm kinda considering repeating now. I'd probably be better off taking another year to find out what I actually want to do rather than doing some course I don't actually like. Ah well

Pretty sure its a four year course postgrad and its not that easy to get into, it very competitive at the other end too and you have to pay fees.

Only found out about it recently off one of the nurses so I could have got it wrong, there was some presentation in Connolly Hospital about a new post-grad being 3years long, the requirement was at least a 2.1 and that there's only a small number of places... Sounded good

anyone doing media studies in maynooth? Im planning on doing that course and combining it with irish and spanish (beginner spanish because you can't combine french with media). I really want to do anthropology aswell but it's timetabled at the same time as Irish and I think with what I want to do, Irish is alot more useful!
Anyone with any info on these courses?! Or media arts in DIT or audiovisual media in ITT. They're my first three anyway so I'd be very grateful for any info!

I know a few people who did media in NUIM, they were luke warm to it. I don't know what you are expecting from it, but it wasn't the same as most people were expecting. A lot more theory for a start. Irish is only useful if you are going to work for tg4, which while a nice thought, it isn't exactly a large market otherwise.

Actuarial and Financial Studies or Economics and Finance in UCD anyone?

I'm especially interested in the former, but not necessarilly looking to continue Actuary beyond college, but rather going into banking, so in that regard how much finance is there on the course?

Interesting... Tbh, I haven't heard anything about The Liberties college before your post.

I would recommend you to go to an official PLC college where portfolio preparation is taught. The whole process of applying and getting in is quite straightforward. The plus side is, that you'll get an industry-recognised qualification at the end, that could also boost your chances of getting into a third level art/design/architecture course.

A bigger plus is a PLC graphic design course with work placement module. It would be great to try some real design work, especailly before college, just to see whether you'd be fit for it.

Where? Just finished engineering in Trinity (with all my choices being structural or structural related) and I quite enjoyed it.

I'm thinking in the lines of Colaiste Dhulaigh or some secondary schools that also hold PLC portfolio preparation courses.

I'm sure Liberties is fine, it is a proper PLC college, it should give you plenty of opportunities to scope out NCAD as well if that's where you want to go with your portfolio.

anybody doing culinary arts in dit or know anybody doing.

experiMental

debz929292:: bah... it all depends on what area of art and design you want to do. I know that some secondary schools do excellent design foundation courses. If you want to do industrial, interaction or architectural design, definitely go to these courses.

Otherwise, you've probably made the right choice.
