Thanks for that - I didn't know they were posted in that much detail. I'm actually pleasantly surprised by the fees for the programme I'm heading towards, and am thinking it will be less of a financial strain than I had imagined.

Forgive me for the minor thread hijacking but can anyone give me a rough estimate of the minimum GPA required to be able to apply for masters. I'm talking in general, not necessarily just UCD.

Depends on what the minimum requirements are and what university. Average is 3.08+, basically a 2.1 which is the case for most schools attached to arts

That's good to hear, I'm just under 3.0 in my last year. I can certainly get that beyond 3.1.

It seems there's some flexibility. I asked a professor about the cognitive science MA programme and he told me (as did the course website) that the general requirement is a 2:1, but he also told me that this is not set in stone.

I was enquiring because I'm on a 2:2 at the moment, and was wondering about my options. He said that there was currently people taking the MA who got a 2:2 and even lower (ie. pass) at undergrad level. In these cases it's up to the student to account for their lacklustre performance during their undergrad.

So I guess (a) it depends on the course, (b) how over/under-subscribed it is, and (c) exceptions can be made.

You'll need to convince those responsible for admittance that you are capable and willing to complete the programme to the end

Again, thank you. It's amazing how much you can **** up and only start waking the hell up once you are in the last semester of your last year.:pac:

This, a million times over! I've only come to seriously considering doing a postgrad very recently... in semester 2 of 4th year! Contemplating the Computational Science MSc, *if* it goes ahead next year..

More proof that as long as you have money you can do what you want in UCD, regardless of how much it damages the reputation of the qualifications they bestow.

what is casting doubt on this?
i believe the masters in mathematical physics requires at least 2 applicatants and that is why it did not go ahead this year.

I was talking to Zoltan Neufeld at the Mathematical Sciences graduate programs open evening this evening and he said that there's a chance it may not go ahead because there hasn't been much interest. It'd be a pity if it didn't go ahead, because it seems to be pretty much exactly the stuff I'd be interested in doing for a masters.

it would be quite a shame if it didnt. but it seems to go ahead every year.
