    All depends on what you like best. Don't go into something that your heart isn't in!

    Sorry I miss-read your post as - which of the subjects are the best to study, not where to study them. Anyway, it depends on what you want to do in each area. Well psychology is psychology, but do you want to teach since/history, work in a lab, be an archaeologist etc. There are plenty of collages around that specialise in them subjects, research them. Sorry but I'm not the best person for advising things!

    There is no definitive answer to such a question - everyone is going to have their own opinion based on course content and what they want(ed) to get out of it. Furthermore, nobody ever does more than one undergraduate degree in any given subject area, so they have no frame of reference.

    What exactly do you mean by "best" anyway?

    Science is generally good in most universities/ITs. These days you will probably need some post grad study as well so with that it doesn't really matter. UCD have a fab science faculty as does TCD

    Psychology - TCD from what I've heard. NUIM have a good course as well.

    Not really well up on history but if you're doing it as a combination, look at what it's up against and then decide e.g. history and Irish, history and religion. Also are you interested in teaching?
