What's Sociology like?

Other than the roleplaying, the feminism, the communism and the focus on "lower class" Dublin?

Hey. I am considering doing my accounting masters in NUI Maynooth next year and was hoping to gather some feedback about the course from any current student of the course or any one that has anything to say about it. Cheers.

Hey,
Thinking of this course in NUIM, anybody have any personal advice, information, how they found it, and whats it like in comparison to other social science courses?

Thanks a million

At the top of this forum there is a thread dedicated to subject advice, you might find that info in there. Good luck with your search

Pretty much that...

With a good measure of middle class guilt and a history of thought without liberalism

Hey guys,
Im hopefully gonna be goin into Arts in September and was thinkin of the subjects to take up.
Im just wonderin if anyone can tell me some info on the french course.Im doin honours french and got a B in the mocks and would be hopin for the same in the Leaving Cert.Im just wonderin if you think that enough to get by or is it more for the A students.Also if anyone did an erasmus would you let me know what you thought etc that'd be great.
Cheers,
John

Hey John,

I study French here in Maynooth and honestly, you'd be absolutely grand with a B. Their acceptance band is anyone who gets a grade of HC3 or above and that is certainly true. Also, if you end up here in Maynooth, you get three weeks to finalise your course decisions, so if you end up not liing French you can drop it within these 3 weeks.

And as for Erasmus, I didn't do it so can't tell you much about it. But hope I've helped you

Yea thanks a bunch.I just didnt wanna go in and everyone else is like fluent!Ha

Law (BCL) and Arts? Anyone do it? What's it like? Is it very boring or very interesting because I imagine it would be one extreme or the other?

Is anyone thinking of starting the Foundation year course in Finance, Economics and Business this year?

Am in first year law. In the first semester you will study Constitutional Law 1 and Contract Law 1. In the second semester you will study Constitutional Law 2, Contract Law 2 and Administrative Law. First semester you will have 4 hours, 2 hours each. Second semester you will have 6 hours, 2 hours of each. Usually you will have 1 hour of tutorials a week. This year the timetable for law was horrible, most notably having 3 hours of law on a friday afternoon.
I found all 3 modules interesting, in particular Constitutional Law as I have an interest in history and politics. Administrative Law is closely connected with Constitutional Law and both modules are taught by the same lecturer. I found Contract to be interesting as well. The lectures can be tedious but if you do the readings and look at the notes you will be able to handle the modules.
Even though this degree is new the Law department are making huge in roads into getting this degree talked about in the same way as law degrees in the other universities. There is the possibility to study abroad in 3rd year or do a year internship with a major Irish law firm. The lecturers are some of the best in the country and even internationally. The law students themselves have set up a Law Society and a Law Newsletter.
I highly recommend this degree. If you have any questions feel free to ask

Kiwi_Knock gave a really good summary here that I would agree with. Also in Law and absolutely loving it!
The lectures are interesting but can get as tedious as any subject when you aren't in the mood, workload isn't too tough either as long as you try to keep on top of your study! Something I could've done better!
We also plan on having law nights out for all the years next year as well which will give you an opportunity to know those in other years who can help you!

P.S. Join the Law Newsletter! Tis awesome!
Hee hee starting my PR already!

If all goes to plan next years law 1st years will have the best preparation for their course, the best support for meeting new people, and of course the opportunity to help with the Law Newsletter. Obviously being helping with the Newsletter is way more important than making friends and learning about your course.

I don't think you have a choice in taking it or not in first year. I could be entirely wrong though!

Apparently all you need is a B in ordinary level and you'll be sorted. I know people who've done that course with a B at ordinary level and haven't had many problems. Once you put the effort in and attend lectures you'd be fine I'd say. There's services available for those who have problems with maths too, extra tuition and stuff.

clairemcbear

I know there's maths in the course,but the prospectus suggests you take maths as your arts subject along with it,if you've done ordinary level.

Ah ok.

You'll get on grand once you keep up with the work and recognise that you need help if you start having difficulties.

Just wondering has anyone on here done PO304 (Society and State)? Trying to get an idea of modules and stuff for next year Is there much reading/work involved? Don't think I want to do Revolutions again lol :pac: (assuming choices are the same as this year)

fufureida

Fill me in: it's my number one cap choice if England doesn't work out.

Do many people do it? Is it demanding lots of work needed? What are the points? Last I checked 380...

Thanks!
