    Hi, yet another question from me :pac:

    Do all courses take a broad curriculum module?
    If so what are the choices like?

    Also I read in the prospectus that language classes are available to science students, would it be possible to do Irish? (If not, are there any facilities to learn Irish elsewhere on campus?)

    check out the site for which courses, as i think it depends on which course you're doing. It's usually taken on in second, sometimes third year, again depending on your course. http://www.tcd.ie/Broad_Curriculum/

    See here for a list of the B.C. courses.

    Language class are available for all!('cept if you're already doing a language) It's on a first-come-first served basis, two hours per week(evening), and there's different classes for different levels. There is Irish, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Irish and i think Turkish!

    Also the Oifig na Gaeilge run Irish classes for students, free-of-charge. They really focus on spoken and conversational Irish, a really good service, IMO.

    Well, I'm looking to do Science, is BC just for 2nd and 3rd year, I've found that website to be a little unhelpful as I'm kinda unfamiliar with some of the terminology.

    Also as regards to Irish, I'm looking to improve my written Irish as well sa Spoken, is that possible?

    From a quick look here though, it seems to be all Junior Sophistor (3rd Year) for the science subjects.

    Well, like I said, they do have those Irish evening classes too.

    Why do you want to improve written Irish? IMO, it's the bane of the L.C, emphasis should be on the spoken but that's a debate for another day/thread/forum.

    Aye the Oifig na Gaeilge run free Irish classes, for 1 hour a week. It's mostly spoken etc. but he gives us a lot of new vocabulary and does go over grammar points. I find it a bit too basic at times because the level is quite varied, but I imagine if you enrolled for advanced Irish in the evenings it'd be better. I unfortunately cannot.

    Polish is a language course now I think..

    BTW, Film Studies is decent. They cover some 20 classic films that you might not otherwise bother watching, and they go into some depth about the style, themes and cinematic techniques. People I know who do it say it's quite interesting. If you're going to be free Monday nights to watch a film then you might consider it.

    Also, FWIW I'm doing Psychology. If you're considering - stay away. It's ****. Just ****.

    Pop along to Seomra 8 in the Atrium on Tuesday at about 7:30. Cumann Gaelach has a Ciorcal Comhrá. It's grand craic and usually moves on up to the Conradh later on.
