    well in 1st year its not really about politics that much but then i chose economics and management instead of sociology and law so can't really talk about sociology side! but in 2nd and 3rd year it focused on politics more!! If u really only like politics then try look at something like Law and Politics or something coz theres gonna be alot more politics in a course like that!!:)

    I'm in 4th year Public Admin, I believe the course has changed a bit since my year started. As far as I know, HPSS is more Politics oriented.

    Tbh I wouldn get the points for law now.I might do it postgrad but I'm really focusing on these courses at the moment as hey both appeal to me :).

    I'm probably gonna go more for public administration as it seems more like Government in UCC,the course I was orginally going to go for.

    Public Admin is a broad course, so you'll be able to branch into most areas when you're at the post grad stage.
