Ok people I am really starting to freak out!! I just went onto the qualifax website with the intention of finding out about business and chinese studies at UCD. I entered 'chinese' into the search engine and another course popped up too, called "Commerce - International with Chinese Studies" (CK211) at UCC !! It also comes up on the the CAO site as well!! But there is no literature on course in the prospectus or on the college website!! Does anyone know if the course exists or know anything about it? Please help! I am freaking out here:o

I love you!! If you are ever down around nenagh just drop us a line and I'll get you that pint:D

Would still be worthwhile contacting UCC to figure out what's going on in this regard.

On the plus side, if no-one else knows this course exists, I think you'll definitely get the points
