Doing two subjects. Took the core modules. That's 20 credits.

You need 60 right?

How many subject/streams do I need to pick? Can it be 2/3?

Jimmy Magee

Arts Stage 1
In your first year (Stage 1) you take 12 modules over two semesters i.e.60 credits; you can study 3 or 4 subjects.In order to qualify to progress in a given subject you need to have taken and passed at least 10 credits(please note some subjects have additional progression rules-see below).We strongly recommend that you take 20 credits in at least one subject; many students take a further 20 credits in a second subject.The remaining 20 credits can be used to explore other subjects in a variety of ways; you can combine 10 credits of one subject with two electives, or take 10 credits in two further subjects. If you are on a denominated Arts programme (e.g. BA in History) you start out already committed to 20 credits in this area. You then choose an additional 2 or 3 subject areas.


I have Geography and Archeaology chosen. Then sociolgy yet it still says Subjects/Streams still required.


Why?

Jimmy Magee

Whole week. Well Monday is just 2'o Clock and Friday is off I think.

So Tue, Wed, Thurs.

what.to.do

Arts orientation is different for everyone..

Well, its organised by surname.

I'm in the A-D section, so I'm in on Monday, but not Tuesday. I'm in Wednesday and...I can't remember Thursday.
But some people don't have anything until Tuesday, or start at a different time to me on Monday, etc.

Go to the UCD website and click onto the incoming students section. Read the WHOLE THING.

Jimmy Magee

Here it says I still have core/options to pick but my credits are all chosen, aren't they?

So what's the problem?

Jimmy Magee

Do I need 60 credits?

Why does it say Req'd 50 then?

You have only picked 1 major, Archaeology according to the picture.

You have to pick 2 majors of 20 credits and one minor of 10, minimum.

Sociology and Geography, you've picked 15 credits of subjects each. So you've not picked either as a major. You have to register for Contemporary Human Geography or Irish Culture and Society to have a valid registration.

Cont. Human Geog clashes with ARCH10050 Intro archaeology of Ireland Practical

I wnated to do Archaeology and Geog as main ones. I had them down on CAO.

Jimmy Magee

I've chosen Contemporary Human Geography now.

So I have 4 modules in Arc. and 4 in Geog.

It still says Core / Options still required.

You might have to do it as a minor then. But many classes allow you do it as a minor in first year and up it as a major in second year. You'll have to contact the school and the programme office.

Jimmy Magee

I've them selcted now though. See last post. Still got a problem.

Pride Fighter

You're fine now then.

All you have to do is pick your electives. 2 more classes from anywhere in UCD.

Jimmy Magee

Thanks. But why this then? It still says that thing in red

Pride Fighter

It'll no longer be red when you pick your electives. Either that or its a bug.

Jimmy Magee

Thanks.

I hope you're right.

I can now sleep for a few hours.

I love you.

Goodnight.

Stage and level are the same thing, stage 1/level 1 is first year, 2 second year and so on.

So you wont be picking your majors/minors until registration for second year after you pass all your subjects.

Jimmy Magee

So everything is OK there then?
