Advanced entry Trinity

VCX

Hi guys, I did my Leaving Cert this summer and applied to read TSM at TCD this year yet didn't receive a place.


So now I'm thinking of a transfer for entry to the second year at Trinity college, i.e. start from Sept 2015.

I'd thank you all in advance for your help.

TSM Maths (as of about 2 years ago) did Analysis I & II, Linear Algebra, Advanced Calculus and Group Theory. Analysis I was a double module so it was six 5-credit modules. I'd imagine they would be quite difficult to supplement in a pure economics degree as they are purely mathematical subjects with no real link to econ? Although I have no idea of the system in UCD.

Thank you very much indeed.

Thank you very much indeed. I received an offer of TR207 today with the help of Susan Power! I wish to know how does the distribution of credits go? i.e. 50% for economics, 50% for math. Do you have the choice of electives..? In UCD, it’s like 50 credits on the modules, 10 on electives. And when is the start date of semester one(lectures) for first year undergrads in TCD? Sorry the info on the website confuses me alot. Again, thank you for your help!

Lectures begin on the 22nd. Freshers Week is next week and there will be some orientation stuff for each course on during the week (course meetings, opportunities to meet tutors etc) and the timetables for Freshers Week can be found on the Orientation section of the TCD site.

We don't normally have electives in TCD. Some courses do a Broad Curriculum module (one elective) normally in 2nd or 3rd Year.

Lolling at the OP's inability to navigate TCD's website despite presumeably scoring 550+. Equal credits till fourth year; no choice until third year; option to take a Broad Curriculum module (5 credits) in third year.
