Prospective Students - Arts

fizzyorange

I think it's time we had our own thread, eh? Here's one for all of the prospective arts students! There are so many different subjects that can be studied with an arts degree, from social sciences to music, from German to Latin, really we have a hell of a lot of choice, so what are you choosing?

I myself am a fan of the ol' social sciences. I'm hoping to graduate with a degree in psychology, I'd like to do music in my first year as well though.

You're right; there's so much choice - which makes it so much more difficult to choose, haha. All I'm sure of is English and French, but I've a good bit of time yet to decide. Whatever I choose, I know it'll be grand. Yes, clearly I am extremely excited.

I'll be doing my favourite subject of all time, Geography! Along with Business & Economics in 1st Year (and I'll choose my favourite out of those 2 to continue with geography in 2nd year... though it'll probably be business because it has better teaching prospects!)
I can't wait either!

Where do you guys want to do your course anyway? I might be going to NUIM myself. If I get in I'd be picking psychology, music and geography.

UCD. It's not "arts" for 355, its a more narrowed down version for pureeeeee languages baby, and I don't gotta work for my year abroad. :cool: :P

I'm hoping to get into NUIG (and if I don't, I'll just live in my accommodation for a year!)

UCC :P Had Primary Teaching down but didn't really know if it was for me so I decided on arts. Think I'm going to do Geography, Irish, Spanish and the last subject I'm undecided.

UCC English, History, possibly Geography and Politics in first year. English and History the whole way up.

UCC - Maths, History and Psychology are three definite choices. Then I'm not sure whether to choose Economics or English.

Think I will be keeping on Maths in second year and then will choose one from the other three.

UCD, umm English and History, not too sure about anything else yet. (:

Sure it's my second choice :pac: Just that ending up getting my tenth choice would be a bit of a downer...

Media Studies in Maynooth. Probably do Geography and English with it. Although I might have trouble picking which one to drop in 2nd year. I kind of have my mind set on Maynooth so I really hope I get it (455 points last year).

Yes, yes we did. :L sure, if not Maynooth, we can always go on the dole. Are you on the hear scheme or anything? It's such a wonderful little life saver.

Nah, I don't qualify for HEAR. I also don't qualify for basically every grant, but sure as I am pretty sure I told you, there are people who would need it a lot more than me so I don't mind. Maynooth looks brilliant though, I loved it there!

Dole buddies 4 lyf. The ~Finglas~ way.

English and French in Trinity - fingers crossed I get the points! They were 530 last year though. Then I've got pure English second - 495 last year. Really hope I get it Good luck everybody! Don't you just hate it when people say "Arts are for farts?" >:( Does my bloody head in!

Lots of people use Arts to go on to great things! It's a very stupid attitude to consider wasters do it, most teachers do Arts and I think that's a very challenging job.

Our current president is a graduate from NUIG's arts course.

'nuff said.

There's so much you can do with an arts degree, you should really look into it further before jumping to repeat
