    Hey all,

    Total newb here (first post) and im looking for anyone who can advise on the accounting masters in UCD smurfit school. Things to watch out for, things to do, things to avoid, i think you get the picture.

    Couple of specific things i would like to know:

    1] Class sizes?

    2] Lecture & tutorial hours per week?


    Im starting now in a few weeks, last day of august i think. Anyone else going to be joining me?

    I did the M.Acc a few years back and we had approx. 120 in the year. It is around this figure each year.

    The hours are substantially more than for an average business undergrad degree. The standard lecture hours were 8.30-2.30 three days a week, 8.30-4.30 one day a week with each Wednesday off. Each lecture was 1.5 hours with half hour breaks in between and of course lunch.

    We only had a few tutorials and these were mainly for IT. I think these were three hours but we only had them once every 2 weeks or 4 weeks I can't quite remember!

    Wow 120! That caught me off guard. I expected no more than 75. Am very glad to hear about the day off though.

    Im going in very unprepared, i dont even know exactly where the campus is. I really should have gone to an open day.

    Thanks for the reply, much appreciated

    Hi, just wondering what was the average age of students studying the M.Acc?

    I didn't do the M.Acc but I did an MSc in Smurfit and you get people of all ages in all courses, if you age is for some reason a concern for you - don't worry about it.
