    Generally, most courses require a Higher degree -- ie a level 8; however, if you can convince the course coordinator that you have the ability and interest, it may be possible to procure yourself a place!

    :pac:

    Got a HDip in Statistics from UCD. My undergrad was the first three years of a BSc in Statistics also at UCD.

    Planning to go back there in September to do the MA Qualifier in Economics followed by the MA in Economics or maybe straight into the MA, then hopefully a PhD in monetary economics there.
