2010ers..... What Courses?

doug.irl.92 · 22-09-2009 6:29pm #1

I know it's a little bit early but any ideas what courses you're hoping to get?

We got are CAO Handbooks today but I really not sure which course yet.... Possibly Biochemistry in UL, European Business in DCU, Commerce in UCD or Biochemistry and Molecular Biology in UCD....So a Fairly broad range atm!!

cork*girl · 22-09-2009 7:07pm

We are getting the handbooks next week I think,

At the moment Primary Teaching in Mary I is number 1, then Earlychildhood studies in UCC, then Arts in UCC, Then Government in UCC

Kersmash · 22-09-2009 7:13pm

I'm hoping for Language and Cultural Studies pathway through arts in UCC. Pretty certain on that atm.

Conor108 · 22-09-2009 8:19pm

Probably Science at UCD or Physics with Astronomy and Space Science at UCD.

sheep-go-baa · 22-09-2009 8:22pm

Medicine!! Anywhere at all lol! :pac:

Jako8 · 22-09-2009 8:24pm

Occupational Therapy, Psychology or Computer Science.

CS is probably my no. 1 but I'm still not sure.

kayashi · 22-09-2009 8:28pm

european studies trinity maby. would take arts ucd but want over 400 whatever happens

DancingQueen:) · 22-09-2009 8:31pm

Um? I don't know yet

FridaysWell · 22-09-2009 8:40pm

Physiotherapy UCD, Law and Economics UCD, Law and Business UCD, Law Trinity, Radiography UCD, or Aviation managment DCU.

Broad. And random.

I know hehehe

CosmicLove · 22-09-2009 9:10pm

Medicine
Nursing (Childrens & General)
Midwifery
Human Genetics.

I'll go anywehere in Dublin that'll take me xD

RexMundi · 22-09-2009 10:37pm

At the moment I am looking at:

1. Theoretical Physics (TCD)
2. Actuarial Maths (UCD)
3. Maths & Economics TSM (TCD)

and in the unlikely event that my maths does not work out for me at all...

4. History & Politics (TCD)

In all honesty I would be happy with any of these and I'm fairly confident that I will comfortably qualify for what I want.

randylonghorn · 23-09-2009 12:35am

CAO handbooks are out? Hasn't been updated on the site yet. Wow, they seem to appear earlier and earlier.

Can I strongly suggest people familiarise themselves with how the system works.

I was amazed this year at how many people were posting in here in August obviously still not understanding the actual process ... how in the hell they could have made the correct choices without understanding it is beyond me!

IHeartChemistry · 23-09-2009 4:38pm

Medicine is top choice, but I'm scared I won't get the points (which will probably happen

). So then if I dont get that I'm hoping for Psychology in UL or UCC, if neither of those work out I'm headin to the UK for Radiography if I get in

Ruski · 23-09-2009 5:16pm

Theoretical Physics in UCD or NUI Maynooth.
If I don't get in, I'll just take the general Science course in either one in order to get into TP.

monaghanmissus · 23-09-2009 6:05pm

Science in UCD:)

brennaldo · 23-09-2009 6:39pm

hopefully arts in ucd, but im doubting myself

li-evo7 · 24-09-2009 5:02pm

Veterinary is my number one. Then integrated nursing,general nursing,physiotherapy,equine science and not sure what else im putting down yet.

LovexxLife · 24-09-2009 7:46pm

Calum196 · 25-09-2009 10:04pm

Medicine... where ever I can get it (beggars cant be choosers), hopefully UCC.

-Els- · 25-09-2009 11:23pm

Medicine.... would love to get Trinity (hoping for a miracle!) I'll take anywhere though!

ChocoChips · 27-09-2009 4:28am

Commerce in UCD !!!

unknown13 · 27-09-2009 11:44am

Law UCD, Law DCU

mercury127 · 27-09-2009 5:56pm

Right now it's looking like general science in Trinity, I've far too many interests to decide on a specific course. 450 points, up from 415 in 2008, hopefully it won't go up by too much again.

Making It Bad · 28-09-2009 8:14pm

Thinking on Physics and Astrophysics in UCC myself.

SantryRed · 28-09-2009 11:34pm

Accounting and Finance in DCU for me.

dannydfc · 29-09-2009 3:50pm

football coaching maybe

440........

Baile an Locha · 29-09-2009 6:51pm

Law and Arts NUI Maynooth,
thats the goal anyway!!

CiaraBelle · 29-09-2009 7:53pm

Human Nutrition and Dietetics in DIT/Trinity.... and nothing else has interested me so far!

WHirl7 · 29-09-2009 9:14pm

1. Computer Science, Linguistics and German - TCD
2. Arts (hopefully doing Computer Science and German) - NUI Maynooth

And after that Computer Science in TCD, DCU and DIT, don't know what order yet!

R0siE · 01-10-2009 9:42pm

I pretty much don't have a clue myself!
I'm looking into Psychology in Trinity or UCD, European Studies in Trinity, Science Omnibus in Trinity or UCD, Neuroscience in UCD or possibly Arts in UCD or Trinity...maybe Irish or French or Classics....
So a bit of deciding left to do yet!:O Anyone else as clueless as myself??
=]

DancingQueen:) · 01-10-2009 9:46pm

I am!! I don't know what i want to do

and i'm never good at making decisions. I'm thinking science in trinity, science education or psychology through science in maynooth or arts in Maynooth/trinity. But i don't even know if i want to do sicence .. I really hate decisions!

R0siE · 01-10-2009 9:51pm

Yeah I'm really bad at making decisions too!My main problem is that I wouldn't mind doing any course really...if I could do a year of everything I would!!Unforch I can't so I'm just going to go to every open day going so I can get a better idea....I can really see myself picking my course out of a hat come february though!
=]

Sophsxxx · 01-10-2009 10:28pm

Law plus or journalism in UL or DCU. I really can't decide. Last year, my CAO was changed like twenty times cuz I didn't know where I wanted to go or what I really wanted to. Don't want to do the same this year!:D

I probably wont get any engineering in NUIG

Here info on the entrance exam http://www.nuigalway.ie/faculties_departments/engineering/specialmathspreparatorycourse.html

I'll Probably do Computer Science & IT in NUIG or Science
Was also looking at commerce

FredBaby! · 04-10-2009 9:50am

i'm hoping for art and design in edinburgh college of art...im very confused about the whole UCAS system though!

RetroRainbow · 05-10-2009 12:05pm

^ Yeah, I'm not too sure about the whole UCAS system, either. Something about writing a letter, and getting a letter of recommendation? I never found out that much about it, since I changed my mind about what I wanted to do in the end.

My main choices are Psychology, in Trinity, and UCC. Third is English up in Trinity, and I've no idea about the rest. Some various Arts subject, in which I can do both Pyschology, and English. Psychiatric Nursing too, perhaps.

LovexxLife · 05-10-2009 5:17pm

Hi, sorry for being off-topic but just want to ask a quick question. I dont know what i wanna do, but was like looking at my talents, subjets...etc....the one thing that stood out was my organising cos like im really well organised, like i text my friends to remind them when we have assembly and like my teachers are taking all my folders to get them copied for the repeats cos like there the best organised....etc.....So was wondering what type of courses would suit well with organising? Sorry again

Kersmash · 05-10-2009 5:34pm

Lollers I don;t think they have a course in orgainsing. Seriously though, perhaps a Business Management course of some sort?

Management!
Event Management as someone has said before.
Sport and Exercise Management.
Nursing?
Law, Business and Law.
Commerce.
Legal Secretary, administration, etc.

Thare are many many more. These all require a certain amount of good organisation, management and well, leadership kinda aswell.

Hope I helped, and don't sweat it youv'e loads of time. and you are lucky you are so organised, it will work in your favour in the Leaving.

Conor108 · 05-10-2009 10:49pm

Would you guys expect courses like general science to go up again in points? Or stay more or less stable?

They could possibly go slightly up again as the word this year was "Science Is On The Up!" due to the points increase so many people this year might think that Science must be a good course/career if its getting this much attention.

Plus, its v. broad

2010ers..... What Courses?
