Nuig for me! Mathematical science GY319.


I'm half considering doing first year and then taking the admission tests for Oxford Cambridge and UCL. Chemistry with mathematics in UCL seems to be a perfect course for me! :-) I'm not sure though. Any advice appreciated!!!

Should have picked the Primary Teaching option but I doubt I'll get it so UCC it is.

I have a quick question! For round one offers, if i dont get an offer for my first choice, i should assume the places are all gone right? Theres only 15, so I guess they would be?

I was going to apply to those but they're just SO expensive, it's £9000 a year and it's just not worth it, I'd come out with the same degree in the end but in ridiculous debt. I figured I could go there and spend half my life trying to pay back a student loan, or just apply to Irish and Scottish universities and emerge debt free.

But if you've got the money or don't mind the debt, by all means go for it. I think the best option for me would have been to do undergrad in Ireland or Scotland and then do a postgrad somewhere like that.

The places for every course are all gone after round one, but it's possible for people to decline an offer and for places to open up in round 2.

Primary Teaching, specifically Mary I. If not that then Maynooth which normally has lower points. It's funny eventhough I'm from Cork I've only one course for UCC in my top 10 on the form. Hardly any courses suit me like. Thats a good thing in one way because I'm sick of Cork. The place is great like but its same sh*t day in day out. The only thing is that my lowest level 8 course is 440 so if I really f'd up the exams which I'm pretty sure I haven't, I'm repeating or else it's Australia. I actually had a nightmare last night about my results day because I was editing my choices late last night. I knew it was a dream like but it still freaked the crap out of me. I got 440 points and everything haha...not good.

Mary Immaculate...but it looks like the course I want to do is changing a lot and there's no information available at all yet on what the new course will be like so now I'm not sure.

I want Pharmacy in UCC but I doubt I'll get it :L So it'll probably be Biological and Chemical Sciences in UCC, moving onto Chemistry of Pharmaceutical Compounds:D Here's hoping!!! I just cannot wait to go to college. Working four days a week to save money for it.

I was going to TCD, but there's no way (and I know it) that I got enough points for the BBL (Law & Business). Kinda annoying seeing as I 'd Trinity, but i'm hoping to do my Masters there (if everything in life goes to plan :P).

Want to do the International Business & European Law degree and work in a TNC (hopefully Pharmaceutical, like my Uncles) after College!

Have you considered BESS? I take it you're interested in Business and Economics so it might have suited you?

Yeah I did, it was my #1 for ages. It's just I want a degree thats main focus is Law, I know you can take Law modules with BESS, but I want a degree that's accredited by the Law Society/King's Inn incase I want to go into Civil Law after college instead of Business, so I have to do a Civil Law degree!

Isn't Marino like the irish primary teaching college? I remember a friend told me that and thats what put him off from putting it down. I've it like #5 but it's pretty impossible to get it if with my ordering. And you haven't mentioned Mary I? You said that UL is an option so why not Mary I? :P

My gf goes there and I'm not sure what you mean by 'Irish Primary teaching college' but they did have to go to the Gaeltacht during Easter as part of the course and they do hand up some assignments in Irish. Oh and there is a HB3 Irish requirement too.

Ah that was it. My friend was saying that he heard it was being thought/lectured in Irish. That put us both off. But if thats not the case grand job. Eventhough it being thought wouldn't bother me that much. I'm not from the Gaeltacht or anything but I love Irish. Got a b1 in the pre compared to the rest of my class scraping passes and I'm expecting the same if not better in the real thing *fingers crossed* ...whats the story with Ed + Physcology? I went on the website yday but the new changes weren't posted yet. Atm the power is gone in my house cuz of the storm so I'll have to check l8r on but anyone know? I actually have it #1 but I'm 90% sure I wont get the points for it...which doesn't bother me cuz I only have it down for the options is brings :L

I clicked the uk , more likely I'll be going to there I know I want to even though I have my doubts and I'll get a year for work experience not just 6/7 months. Dcu would be my next option.
