    if you want to do psychology next year you will have to be in the top 15 at the end of the year.
    however, if you want to do psychological studies there are another 100-120 places. this means that at the end of your degree you will not have a psychology degree. but all you have to do is do a conversion course to make it equal to that of a psychology degree.
    i did arts last year and there were 700 people doing psychology. so it all depends on how many people are doing it this year.
    being good at english would not help this year for the exams because the answers are only short questions. but obviously it would help for the essays and reports but that goes without saying as arts is a course that is based totally on english..

    Just wondering where you're planning on doing Arts this year? Your question seems to have turned up in quite a few University threads!
    Remember that any advice will hugely depend upon the university you're planning to go to.

    If it is NUIG that you'd be doing it through yeah it'd be tough but if you've your mind wet on it and work at it it's possible! I know a lad that got into straight psychology this year through arts...he worked fairly hard at it and was interested in it...think he got eighty something percent but it depends on the standard of your class!!
