Info about courses in UL

sceptre

As suggested in this thread, might be an idea to have a sticky or similar (don't worry, I'll tidy up the stickies as well) linking to the threads where people have asked about UL courses. It'll save people asking the same question twice, will save us time and will save a few people a few heartbeats.

Over the weekend (or soon, since I'm missing my first softball training session today as my door still isn't fixed), I'll have a look through the forum and start putting a list of links together, along with a nice link to the UL official info.

If anyone feels like being uber-helpful and posting some of the UL forum threads here, discussing courses that they're aware of for the benefit wannabe newbies, that'd be cool. Usual tiny-print bottom-of-post credits for volunteers will be provided.

Hi everybody, is/did anybody here do the course for teaching physics and chemistry? Just wondering, are the actual sciences much harder than secondary school, or is it around the same difficulty?

Thanks!

I'm thinking about doing the Global Computing and Localisation MSc this year. I've a background in translation but not necessarily with localisation or software development. I'm really interested in though, so I'm hoping to hear opinions about the course! I've been hearing for years that Limerick is supposed to be fantastic for teaching this so that's a good first sign.

Anybody know anything about the
LLM/MA HUMAN RIGHTS IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE

Hi,

Was looking at this course (chemical engineering graduate diploma) and was wondering does anyone know anything about it? I'm currently studying chemistry in UCD but was thinking about leaning more towards chemical engineering as it seems to be easier to make a career out of it? Would it be manageable with "science level" maths and would it be the same overall as having a chemical engineering degree?

Cheers!:D

Just wondering if any student doing the English and History course in Limerick give me some feedback about it, i've researched it a lot so get the general jist but would be nice to hear from a students point of view. I have it down on my cao but at the moment it is not my first choice, would like to know a bit about what you do in the course in first year..is there a lot of project work/essay writing..things like that, thanks anyone for your help

Hey!
I'm just finished my first year of English and History, so I'll answer your questions.
The first semester is fairly basic and just sort of sets you up for the rest of the course. You've probably seen the list of modules but here's a quick breakdown:

Academic Literacies: An intro to academic writing, common across all the english courses and if you've got enough common sense, you'll probably pass it in your sleep. You have to do worksheets and those combined with tutorial attendance make up 30% of the module. An argument analysis is worth another 20%, and there's an essay (which you can do on anything) and a presentation which make up the other 50%. (I used a spruced up version of my RSR from the leaving)
The Irish Literary Revival: A nice enough module made up of plays and prose by Sean O Casey, George Moore, James Joyce and W.B. Yeats. Graded on a (very) short essay type thing, tutorial attendance, a presentation and a final essay of around 1200 words.
Critical Practice 1: An easy enough module (as long as you like reading) that teaches you the basic format of MLA style (which you use for all English essays) and you have to read Paul Auster's City of Glass, The Awakening by Kate Chopin and some of Poe's short stories. The grading is broken down into tutorial attendance for 10% two essays worth 40% each, and then for the last 10% you edit and improve the essay that you got the lowest grade in and re-submit it.
Diplomacy Government and the State, 1550-1715 : Handy enough...the essay (33.33%) was based in the first half of the course which was Spain and the exam (66.66%) was based on the second half, France (a lot of Louis XIV and Cardinal Mazarin).
Early Modern Europe and Ireland: Goes from about 1400 to just after Cromwell and it's fairly easy, just going into depth of stuff that you will have done in school and it's graded the same way as Diplomacy, Government and the State.

So that's just the first semester, but you'll find in the second semester that the workload is about the same. In the first semester I had 7 essays, an argument analysis (that in all fairness took me about half an hour), two presentations and an exam. In semester 2 I had 4 essays, a presentation, an argument analysis and a source report (piece of cake).
So, if there's anything else, you want to know, give me a shout

Is anyone doing energy science adn have info about it????

Hi Coomkeen3010
I'm heading into 3 year and I can tell you that the course is very enjoyable but it is not a walk in the park. The module are very much physic based and work is need for them. Since I have been in the course the class has went on trip to power plant and an Eco village and I with 2 other classmates went on an energy conversion to Linz Austria as part of the course. From the start you have to pick which maths you want to do. The science maths is the easier then the engineering but if you the science you can't do the power or market streams
For the first semester it cover all the science modules and an energy modules but from then on it becomes more physics based
For more info on the modules you will be taken click here

Hey, doing Psych n' Soc, 4th year now.

@wiger, depends on what you want really. My course is in Arts, whereas Psychology is a Science degree. Ours covers more Sociology than does Psychology, though Psychology does still have a number of Sociology modules.

@cizzy, search the UL website for module codes, then go to timetable.ul.ie and enter the codes into 'module timetable'.

Could probably give combined info on a number of science courses for 1st year, as they all do pretty much the same modules, for the first semester anyway. This includes; Phar. & Ind. Chem, (My course!) Science choice (to some extent) Biochem and a few other science related courses

Modules tend to include;
Bio
Chem
Physics
(I have all 3

)
Science Maths (At the mo functions and differentiation, limits and onwards. HL LC Maths, having done OL, finding it v. hard)
& Computer Sciences (Microsoft Office).
Also if you're doing more specific courses, you may also get the option to do;
Biochem
Physiology
Nutrition/Food Sciences
Equitation studies/Science
Etc.

READ THROUGH THE COURSE YOU WISH TO PICK
MODULES AND WHAT NOT ON UL.IE PAGE ABOUT YOUR COURSE!

Make sure what you're getting yourself into,
And be sure you're ready to do the course and modules in it before you pick it.

It'll be a sickening and unbelievably hard 4 years if you don't have an interest in the course you've chosen.

Hi, I'm thinking about doing the access to university course in January 2012 (if I'm accepted)...:) I am looking at Arts LM032 or maybe LM035. I have started a FETAC level 5 course in Applied Social Studies in Limerick with a view to getting Arts in UCC in 2012. I must get at least 5 distinctions in 5 set modules to qualify for Cork....BUT....if I do the access course in UL and complete it successfully I will be guaranteed a place in my degree course in 2012....has anyone gone to UL via this route and what advice can you offer please?? Thanks
