Guy Doing Commerce?

XboxHero

Commerce is something I might do, but is it primarily a course full of women? Is it a good course?

I'm in business studies in UL which is from what I hear from people doing commerce in UCC the exact same.

Anyway theres about 600 in business in my year and i'd say almost 400 of them are women. Doesn't make the slightest difference to be honest and I'm sure its the same down in Cork.

Im doing Com and French in UCC and ya it really doesnt matter. The majority are women but its not intimidating or anything!

Tho in my class theres 24 - 16 women and 8 guys but thats more to do with the french bit, in Com straight twud be a lot closer.

I'd defo recommend com and french tho, its a good balance as its not all business stuff

Commerce is definately the course to do. I'm in 2nd year now and the class is pretty much 50-50 split between guys and girls

Cool stuff, thanks for the speedy replies. I fully intend doing Commerce with French if I get the points. Glad to hear it's a good course.

Im doing business with german actrually and can really second that, theres 18 doing business and german in 1st year in UL and 14 are girls and once again it really doesn't make the slightest difference.

Really recommend doing it with a language too, really adds to the course.

And that would be a problem because ...?

I'm not sure about UCC, but I think most colleges Commerce/Business Studies is roughly two thirds wimmens

It really doesn't matter whether it's mainly guys or girls - if you want to do the course, do it.

Fully agree.

Couldn't be more true. If you feel uncomfortable with that higher lady ratio, imagine being stuck in a course like nursing, where you could count the number of male students on one hand!

I have a friend doing Nutritional Science and she told me that there's one guy in the whole class!

Now that I did not expect! Thats gotta be a record...unless there are any UCC courses with only one gender in them?

I think Early Childhood Studies is mostly women, but there's probably more than 1 guy doing it.

Is this the same in both UCC and UL? These numbers put me off a bit! Im only in 5th yr but im also thinking of one of these courses.

Well I'm sure the layout of the courses is the same as is the degree.
As for class sizes I really couldn't say.

For our larger lectures were put into the university concert hall which can fit over 1000. It really shouldn't put you off though as it is a good learning environment and as well as that you will be in tutorials with under 20 people and thats where most of the learning is done.

Numbers fair shouldn't put you off! You're not gonna be lecturing the classes. If you want to do the course, do the course!
