    Could anyone tell me if a lot of people do Sociology in UCD. Like how many girls and boys do it?

    It depends on the module but in general hundreds of people do Sociology.

    It's probably 60% 40% in favour of girls

    Thanks! Do you think it would be a good course for getting into the guards?

    The thing about joining the Gardai at the moment is that there are so many applicants for so few places that it's about more then what your degree is in.

    It's nearly a given that most applicants will have a degree so what distinuishes you more is what you're doing outside of college, membership of the Garda Reserve/Civil Defence/Reserve Defence Forces/Order of Malta etc. I believe in the future they'll be looking for applicants who have completed a first aid course, have a full driving licence etc.

    They want Gardai out on the streets as quickly as possible so whatever you can do to make yourself seem like you would slip right into being a Garda the better. Even when joining the Garda Reserve they look at what you're doing in the community i.e. are you a member of the GR/RDF, Order of Malta etc. Look to join one or more of the above organisations, get a first aid certification and move towards getting your driving licence etc.
