I'd just like to compliment you all on your fine choice of college.
In my highly biased and uninformed opinion, UCC > Everywhere else :P
Remember, there's a UCC forum if you want to have any questions about life in UCC.

im hoping for biological and chemical sciences!!!:D
word of advice, its a toughie!!! its a really really interesting course, i started out doing it but changed as i was offered my 1st choice about a month in... My roomate and a load of my friends stuck with it though...The biology part was unreal, i adored it but got an A in the LC anyway so was a doddle.. Physics was interesting but i was borderline fail in pass maths so it wasnt a walk in the park...! Same goes for maths, it wasnt too hard, like, if you have hons maths from LC it would be grand i reckon... Chemistry was really hard...the practicals were all pretty cool but I only did Bio for the LC so had no idea what i was upto... If ya have an interest in Science like totally go for it, I really liked it when i was doing it but the hours are really tedious and the workload is massive...you'll be grand just be prepared to work pretty hard! best of luck

OP, You've made an excellent choice I did Biological and Chemical Sciences and I'm heading into 3rd year.
A bit of advice, the maths and biology is piss, physics is grand if you've done it at LC and ok if not (I didn't and I passed) but Chemistry is quite tough, even if you've done it for the LC, watch out for quantum mechanics!
Seriously though, it's got the most ridiculously light extracurricular workload. One lab write up every two weeks, everything else is done in the lab.0 -

I actually really liked PY1053, although most people in my year hated it and preferred PY1052.
HOW could you like PY1053?!?! :eek: It's horrible!

I found the elctricity part fairly doable and I loved the quantum mechanics part of the module. I especially loved Schrodingers Wave equation.
Magnetism was a bit of a bitch but overall I thought PY1053 was more interesting than PY1052. I was in the minority though.0 -

That's my second choice
If anything, I expect it to drop to 280 because people are not very interested in computers anymore :pac:0 -

this isn't really related to the conversation but....anyway, i picked physics and astrophysics and my no.1 and i'm wondering was it a big mistake????? is doing physics really hard or do u need to be seriously intelligent or wot??? please tell me its manageable0 -

It's a tough course but it's manageable.
If you have an interest in Physics, a reasonably good aptitude for Maths (don't need to be a genius) and you actually go to your lectures/labs you'll be grand. 0
