    Hey all, I've just finished the leaving cert and at the moment my first CAO choice is Economics and Maths in NUIG (in arts).

    I'm just looking for any information on this course regarding the hours, difficulty, employability, social aspect etc.

    Any info would be greatly appreciated! :D

    Thanks in advance!!

    If you have the maths requirement and enough points, you might be better off doing the B.Sc. (Hons) Financial Mathematics and Economics course.

    It's a bit harder and it's a four-year course, but it has better job prospects on graduation.

    Details of it would be available on the internet somewhere.

    If you don't have the maths requirement for Financial Maths I wouldn't be too confidant in you being able for the maths in arts, I'm in financial maths and we share most classes with the arts classes. You could do pass maths, but I'd say that would be looked down on by employers given that you'll be doing a maths degree.

    I'm fairly sure i'll be alright with the maths (its my favourite subject in school) and its also naturally my best. But even so, because i'll be doing arts i can just do economics and something else :)

    Yeah but what I mean is that if you find HL maths at leaving cert too hard(especially with the new easier course), you're going to struggle with university standard maths.

    One time I was in a group project with someone who did pass maths and economics through arts. It did not end well.

    If you get into the Mathematical Studies course I would say it's doable if you actually work at it and you can still get an honours degree out of it. Huge difference in standard between it and the Mathematics (Honours) course from my experience.
