Just as an FYI, if you do maths through TSM (with or without economics) you don't do all of the modules that you do in maths on its own, you can have a look at that kind of stuff here http://www.maths.tcd.ie/undergraduate/tsm/

I'm in a similar kind of situation even though I only do Biology. I'm more than likely going to put down arts and do English, geography and something else even though the only real job that'll lead me to is teaching which I'm not mad about and there aren't even a whole lot of jobs in to begain with. I'll probably put down a General Science degree 3rd or 4th on my list just for the sake of filling up space because I honestly have no idea how I'll fill all 10 spaces.
So basically even though sciene has more opportunities than a combination of English and Geography I have no real interest in it and I'll only be using it as a last resort and that won't even work because if I don't get the 370 for arts (which is nigh on impossible unless I have a major breakdown, I'm aiming more for the 525 mark for the NUIM scholarship) and I put science further down, I won't get that either so it's only going to be a filler.
In short, do what you love because if you're like me you'll regret it and dwell on it for ages if you don't.
If you do decide to pick science in NUIM, you'll have made a very good choice.
I've just gone into first year Science Ed in NUIM and it's brilliant. NUIM itself is brilliant. I only had Biology going in and I thought I was at a disadvantage but I wasn't really. Subjects in first year are basically the leaving cert course so by second year everyone is up to scratch. But ya, Science in NUIM is great!
As for the scholarship, it's extremely handy. It's €1000 and you can spend it on whatever you want! Last year it was 500 points but due to them probably getting fleeced it's now 525. That's still achievable!
Oh and also, don't worry to much about the job prospects now, in 5 years time things could be very different!0 -

Does anyone actually know what sort of job you can get with a physiology degree (it's a specialist degree you can get from doing science in UCD, TCD, NUIG, and probably other colleges). It says on the different college sites that you can get into different graduate and master programmes or go work in medical or research labs but theres nothing specific, like what type of labs, what companies employ people with a physiology degree, I don't want to go to college for four years and end up unemployable unless I spend a fortune on doing some other course. I didn't know where else I could post this so I posted it here cause it's kind of relevant.

Yeah, I figured I might as well do a course that I like and I'm naturally good at, rather than a course which wouldn't interest me as much.
Can't wait to get this LC craic out of the way now :cool:0 -

No, level 6/7 and level 8 act as two different systems, come the round 1 offers if you filled out both you'll be offered your highest preference in each individually so you'll choose from 2 offers, one level 6/7 and one level 8, so there's no requirement for you to fill out level 6/7 (or level 8 as the case may be!) Of course you can always just take the absolute piss out of the level 6/7's like I did! Come on Sports with community leadership in Dundalk IT 0 -
