Help. Transfer route into science

Ana27

What are the options for me?

My ultimate goal is to get into eaither NUIG, UCC or UCD science in order to study zoology.

I dont have to points this year and am not repeating. Im looking at other longer ways to get in.

What is the likleyhood of me getting into ucd sicence if i get 5 destinctions in the specified plc?

Would i be better off doing a level 7 science and tranfering into the level 8 or the plc?

Sorry for the long reply! Any help would be anazing!! Thanks

You could go the Fetac route and get in through that. There are around 20 places reserved for such entrants in UCD science.

I did a PLC because I didn't get the points and I got into UCC and I'm in the environmental/earth/biological science course, which in second year you can choose Zoology as your degree programme and when I started first year last year there was over a 100 in the course, going into second year now

Thank you, this is great to hear, did you get 5 distinctions or did you get more to increase your chances of a place in UCC?
How difficult did you find the plc?

hey, just wanted to say there is quotas on the number of people that do zoology each year and the other degree outlets, but it changes on depending on demand I think

The only science places that were over subcribed this year was pharmacology.
