"Repeating exams for Exemptions"... have never heard of such a thing. An exemption means you are exempt from sitting an exam, how can you be repeating an exam you are exempt from

I think its more to do with sitting an exam in DCU which exempts you from exams when you leave such as in accounting, actuary...

Phone registry/talk to your course people.

It's for actuary, yeah. It's to gain an exemption from doing it when I graduate, H2G2.

What's the breakdowns of a grade again? A for a first and B for a second? Cheers btw. Will it be clear enough from the grade?

Thought the exam was relatively easy. Not any harder than the Summer, but I think I had my work done this time round.

70+ is a 1.1
60+ is a 2.1
not sure of the rest... fedfrank might know :rolleyes:;)

usually over 60 should get ya the exemption, and yea listen to frank - get the exemptions, cause putting them is not a good idea - anything can happen

Firstly you ask to compare DCU to UCD in this forum(expect an obvious answer:D)

As far as I know the emphasis in DCU is more on the mathematical side(B.Science), and in UCD it's more business orientated. Having only experienced DCU I can't really say! DCU have more work experience(9 months) then UCD, who brought it in after they say DCU doing it!
