    there is lots and lots of threads already that will answer your questions:

    The course can be tough and does require you to put the work in (can't imagine why anyone would think otherwise for a level 8 science course) but it is extremely worthwhile and CA graduates have a very high employability.

    It is not "incredibly" maths based in my opinion, you should be fine if you did well in ordinary leaving cert maths or had a decent grasp of higher level. There is a lot of support for those struggling with the maths but really the same as above applies here, you'll be fine if you put the work in. The maths modules are mostly there to enhance your logical thinking for programming.

    Thanks for the reply. I've had my doubts about it because of a friend doing it, and he hates it!

    Has anyone ever transferred to 2nd year for this course? Cause I'm planning to do it for the next year and kind of having doubts whether they would make me do 1st year again :S

    What course are you doing now? It probably depends. if you are doing anything similar and are getting good grades I don't see why you wouldn't be put into 2nd year.

    I'm in first year CA atm, so if you do move, you'll be in with me! It depends on the course you are doing! Because in second year, we will build on the modules we are currently studying.
