Hi

So I'm doing my LC this year andI filled my CAO form the other week with heavy interest in studying accounting.
I filled my first 2 choices with courses in DCU.
Accounting & Finance as no.1 and Business Studies as no.2
However,points are really high for me to get.435 needed for A&F and was told that it will probably go up this year.
For me, only college I wanna go to is DCU
I know they have good A&F course in places like Maynooth,DIT but DCU seems to be the only place I wanna go to for some reason.
So I was wondering, what courses are there in DCU that relates to A&F and that allows me to study masters/phd on A&F after the course just incase I don't get the points for my no.1 option A&F?
I checked the courses on DCU website but I havn't studied in DCU so I wouldn't know what courses relate to A&F and just generally don't know.:(
so anyone who went/goes to DCU could maybe help me out cus I'm really sh*ttin it for the leaving...lol
Thanks

Outside of those two I don't think there are many courses that have much accounting, any business-type course would have some, but will also have other focuses. They certainly wont get you many exceptions in provisional exams. If you have your hart set on accounting, I would recommend going elsewhere if you don't get the A&F course in DCU (even the business course does not get the exceptions)

NUIM & Dundalk and Athlone ITs do good accounting courses with lower points. Commerce in UCD or NUIG also get exceptions and had lower points back when I was applying to the CAO.

Alternatively ask on the DCU boards, http://boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=471 as people there may have a better idea of whats involved in different courses.
