    Points were around the 480 mark last year I think. Brilliant course - in third year atm, and found it tough at times but enjoyable. I'm pretty sure there isn't a post grad that you can do from Arts, you would only be able to get a diploma to teach your Arts subject - you'd have to start again to be able to be qualified to teach PE in a school. Thats coming from the teaching council - as PE is one area that you have to have a specialised degree in

    All the modules that we do are listed here http://www.ucc.ie/en/education/SportsStudiesandPhysicalEducationSection/bedsportsstudiesandpe/updated-sports-studies-brochure.pdf

    You cover some very interesting topics, though it does depend on what areas you are interested in. I found the exercise physiology and exercise prescription to be quite enjoyable modules since I would have an interest in them. There is a relatively small number in each year, 50 I think went into first year this year, so you get to know everyone in your year pretty quickly.

    the foundation skills are good as well, for example in first year you cover the basics of swimming, gymnastics, athletics and dance - you can have a bit of fun with them, but at the same time learning the required information
