Economics, Politics & Law, OR Finance and Economics?

    I'm kind of stuck between the two.

    EPL is in DCU, Finance and Economics (Course is just called Finance) is in NUIM.

    EPL looks very interesting but from looking deep into the modules of both courses it seems like a dumbed down kind of Economics compared to the Finance course. Am I wrong here? I feel like because EPL is spread out between 3 subjects, I won't really be getting a solid education in economics in comparison to the finance course.

    I'm mainly interested in Economics, but I like how EPL has Politics/Law too.

    Can anyone with experience share their thoughts?

    Why not apply to the double major in arts at Maynooth then? You can combine Economics and Politics (not too sure on the finance but accountancy is available and allows for progression into the BA in Economics and Finance, provided you pair Economics and Accountancy), and try that out? I'm currently studying both Economics and Politics at Maynooth under the Double Major. You get a great understanding of Economics and the lecturers are fantastic, especially Dr. Tuvana Pastine. The Politics is quite good but the first semester can be quite boring at times, it depends on what you're interested in. The second semester of first year is much more interesting.

    My best advice is to go for what you WANT to study, rather than what you think might be best career wise. If you choose to do the double major but decide you don't like Politics you can progress into the BA I mentioned above in second year provided you also take accountancy and get 60% overall for the year.
