    Agricultural economics but I'm not too sure. Good luck with ag science tried it last year during TY and it was easy if you put some effort in.

    If you are willing to put in the effort there is a lot that can be done via grinds schools in one year. Ag science is the most popular but i know students who have done geography in 1 year or business and gotten on well...

    It's basically economics but they sub in the farm economy, well according to my uncle anyway haven't really looked into it. If you've done normal economics definitely look into it. Ag science course though is a handy sized course for over one year so that might be enough. Never really heard of people taking on any other subject than it when repeating.

    Geography is a grand one to do in 1 year as you can do it by just memorising essays... A lot of it is common sense too. If you've an aptitude for Biology it's also do-able in a year, some people would strongly disagree but if you understand it then it's very straight forward.

    I've also heard home economics and accounting being mentioned as good one year subjects but can't really vouch for them as I took on ag science myself when I repeated. I would say though business or geography is probably your best bet. And yes there is a project for ag economics don't have any details though I'm afraid.

    Ag Ec is the application of Economics to the agricultural sector. It is a relatively short course and you don't need a background in agriculture. There is a project worth 20%.

    Unfortunately, it is only in Cork or Dublin that there are Ag Ec classes running as far as I know.

    Isn't there a rule against doing Ag. Science and Ag. Economics? Maybe I'm wrong but I think they always put those exams on at the same time..

    No your thinking of economics and ag economics they cant both be done.

    Ag science and ag economics can be done as a combination:)

    I don't see an issue with Ag. Science and Ag. Economics.
    From the SEC site:

    1. Physics and Chemistry and either of the separate subjects, Physics or Chemistry.
