Or have people actually heard from them? :P
I'm going to UCC too and asked this question about a page back.
Apparently nobody else has heard from them either but they promised to be in contact with everyone by 3rd of September.
We're going back the 20th anyways and the web timetables are up!0 -

I'm sure you need an email address issued by the college so they can email you. You'll get this email when you're at your orientation I think. UCC need you on the database I presume.0 -
Hows Chemical Sciences anyone who does it?I did. what do you wanna know?
Just like to know, whether or not it's a difficult course? I'm thinking of doing Chemistry, Maths, App. Maths and Physics for the first year subjects, but I haven't done Physics for the LC - would I be ok dya think? And how were the hours too?

and have you specialised yet?
Its a great course!I didnt do physics either and passed my exam first time round the physics is tough but just do the continual assessment and you will be fine!0 -

dear sweet jesus no. i got an A1 in LC physics and the physics in 1st year in that option (PY1052+1053) absolutely killed me. deadly stuff.0 -

That sounds scary as I'm doign physics modules in my course Bio and Chem sciences...Hope I dont have those modules now
Dave, thanks for the info

2nd year biochem here! We do PY1001 in 1st year, which is basically a very thorough introduction to physics...like someone already said do your best on the continuous assessment (2 in term exams, labs and homework assignments) then you should have at least 20% going into the final exam, which is very repeatitive anyway!
Mail me if you want to know anything else!0 -

Last year, there were a few Chemical Sciences people in PY1052 (the predominantly Maths Science and Physics/Astrophysics module) with me who hadn't done physics for the Leaving Cert. They had the option of doing PY1001 (the Biochem one) instead as long as they hadn't got a timetable clash, and indeed they were highly encouraged to do so!
You might manage ok with PY1052 if you did Applied Maths for the Leaving, but otherwise I wouldn't go near it. It's crazy stuff!
PS: The hours are fairly intensive too- it's a 10 credit module shoved into one term, so you have four lectures, a tutorial and a three hour lab each week. You'll also have lab reports and homework sets to hand in each week, so it'll take up quite a lot of your time outside of lectures too. That said though, it shouldn't be your main concern- if you want to do physics (and you feel you'll be able for it), you should go for it and not be put off by the minor niggles.0 -

Thanks for the extensive info Richard - much appreciated! I've always had an interest in Physics outside of school, but I never chose it for the LC - with much regret I chose Biology instead
Do you think I should go ahead and choose Chem, Physics, Bio and Maths or Chem, Physics, Maths and App Maths for the first year subjects!?0 -

Not a bother PY 1001 is what you will be doing the easy of the easy physics college wise...still tough though if you havent done it before0 -
Are the timetables up on the web set in stone, or might they change. I will have to arrange to get my boys minded 3 afternoons a week:((timetable really doesn't suit school times) and just want to make sure that it isn't liable to change before I do.
To the best of my knowledge this won't change at all with term so close to starting. Keep an eye out for any additional tutorials or labs you might have in the future too, they can happen any day of the week and normally are inconveniencing Best of luck at any rate! 0 -

It depends on what you're into, and what you plan on doing after college I suppose. You might want to check if your subject choices in 1st Year affect what you can do in later years- it's often the case that if you don't do a certain subject in 1st Year then certain avenues are closed off to you.0 -

Thanks. I knew it was going to be hard doing a full time degree with kids, I guess I just hoped the time-table would suit better. Going to speak to a friend who has finished the first year of the course and see how much extra things I should be expecting during the year.0 -
Hi.
My friend is doing EarlyChildhood Studies first year and I was looking at the time table. Will she only have one lecture a week?

On a different note, Anyone doing Commerce with German? Whats it like? 0 -
