Hello,

I've been offered a place in the 4 year Bachelor in Social Studies in TCD.

They claim that the workload is intensive, with summer placements.

I'm hoping that someone who is doing this course could let me know what the hours are like, in terms of how many lectures per week and any other commitments? Also if you could let me know how long the summer placements are and how many hours a week that would be great. I believe there are only placements after year one and two, ie none between 3rd and final year?

I'm hoping to be able to work at weekends while doing this course (I'm a mature student and wont be entitled to any funding while doing it so will need money to live on) but need to find out how heavy the workload is to see how feasible this is.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks is advance
