    Can anyone tell me for definite if I can split my credits unevenly in semester 1 and 2? Academic Advisory office said it was no problem just take onto account it will be extra work but the registrars office said I could only have 2.5 credits more in one semester.

    might depend on the department, I know for music(3rd year anyway) the credit weighing doesnt matter, infact its set up in a way that will probably be uneven because all the compulsory are in the first semester so unless you choose all your optional modules in the second semester its pretty the first will be quite busier.

    what ma are you doing? did you not know the price before hand?The music tech one is crazy expensive

    Actually the Music Tech one is the cheapest of all Music Dept. postgraduate sthtuff.

    It comes under the EU skills conversion programme, so the MA costs about e2,500 I think? Unless that's just the HDip in Music Tech. Either way it's basically the same course, with the option to upgrade if you're doing well enough.

    Normally it's about e9,000

    Not normally that high. €9000, in Maynooth, at least, is above average for most Arts and Social science postgrads. Science and Engineering are higher, though. Strange.
    The schedule of fees is here, anyways, so you can see for yourself!

    aaah I see now, I didnt notice the little star things at the side, jaysus though its rare that when you read see a little * beside something on a price list does it say at the bottom you only have to pay a 3rd of it, must be a great feeling for anyone noticing that if you are actually going to do the course

    'Lo, all!

    I was having a chat with some others going into second year in MH114, and doubts regarding my understanding of how electives work came as a result. Y'see, I do History as a minor subject to English, and figured I had a choice of twelve/thirteen elective modules per semester that were listed under the Major/Minor section of the History Undergraduate Handbook. However, I got linked to this page, which, under the Year Two History option, has designated four History electives for us, alongside the two compulsory modules.

    So, what I'm wondering is, since I'm doing the BA English degree as opposed to the Arts degree, do I not get a choice regarding my electives in my minor subject? Is the list of electives in the History Undergraduate Handbook under the Major/Minor page only for Arts students? Or are the modules picked on my Course page just placeholder examples of what we could pick?

    I should read more...

    You can only take 20 credits for history and your compulsory modules add up to 15 so you only have 5 credits left to take - aka 2 2.5 credit modules like the ones shown or they might let you take one 5 credit module.

    Most of the modules will be 7.5 credits though so you definitely won't be able to take them

    Ah, now it makes sense to me. So I can only pick a single 2.5 credit module per semester, making it 20 credits. Not very happy with my options, but there we go. At least I won't have as much work in History as I anticipated. :o

    Thanks a lot for clearing that up for us! :D

    No probs! Have a look at the other modules and see if they'll let you pick a different 2.5 credit module (I think there's one or two others) or maybe just take one elective and do a 5 credit one!

    There was a footbridge?? :eek:

    Lucan is such a confusing place. Me and my friend went on a spin out there earlier and it took us forever to find the place she was looking for! It's even more abnormally spread out than Bundoran, and that's saying something :p

    Pretty sure they do all major languages, got an email about it last year. There's a cut price deal for postgrads too I believe.

    Just got an email warning me that if I don't email the Garda Ombudsman today then Christ, in his impending 2nd coming, will turn me into a goat within days. Also Enda Kenny, Alan Shatter and the Garda Commissioner.

    DOES ANYONE HAVE THE NUMBER FOR THE GARDA OMBUDSMAN. IT'S AN EMERGENCY.

    Think they're online on Wednesday, probably about 2pm or so, similar to the summer ones :)

    @Baile an Locha - yep they do! I'm thinking of doing one in Irish :)

    Keep an eye out on the notice boards around Seomra na Gaeilge, the Irish officer is in talks with the language lab to organise informal evening classes and hopefully we (The Cuallacht) can start doing some conversation groups for varying abilities in the canteen or something!

    Will post info on boards when I get it!

    Pretty sure most people will be bringing their parents.. And also why care if anyone else doesn't? :confused: If you're already thinking about other peoples opinions, I'd be worried :pac:
