    Hi,
    I'm currently doing the PDE in NUIG so I might not be much help as the courses are different..
    But I said I would reply..

    I have really enjoyed the course so far.. There is a lot of work but so far its been really interesting.

    There has been a lot of group work so far which I really don't enjoy but apart from that its a great course.

    I hope you get it and enjoy it!

    We shared some of our final year classes with the PDE students - timetable isn't great, working in schools until 1pm, then into college from 2-6. You are in college every day afaik, not too sure how long. Workload was nothing compared to what we had - decent lot though at the same time.

    Keep on top of the planning etc, and you would be grand - 5 inspection with a possibility of a sixth, they don't expect much from your first two, but you need to show improvement from inspection to inspection
