    I will be sitting my Leaving Cert in 2014 and I am interested in Maths but want to keep my options open to other areas such as Accounting, Computer Science and Actuarial Studies or possibly Economics.
    I'm currently considering studying MSISS (Management Science & Information System Studies) in Trinity as it seems to be the only course that would keep all my options open.
    I'm curious if anyone knows any other courses in Dublin that provide a broad course but still has a strong emphasis on Maths? Also points shouldn't be a problem..
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Economics and mathematical sciences in UL would keep all them options open for you.

    Edit: just noticed the Dublin part! Apologies

    Thanks for the response, yes there is a similar course in UCD called Economics and Finance but both courses only seem to have options to study accounting and computers in the first years and none in the final years..

    Im a first year in MSISS. Doing MSISS will leave your options open to all the sectors you mentioned. People go into roles in all those sectors, you will leave your options more open by doing MSISS than doing a course specialising in one area.

    OP

    Have a look at Science in UCD MPG strand ? You have lots of options for your degree specialisation.

    The Econ & Fin degrees in UCD is also very good and will open many doors.

    MSISS was the first thing that came into my head from reading the first line. It appears to be a very good path and has good career prospects too.

    I have narrowed down my choice to MSISS or Maths and Economics in Trinity, does anyone have any knowledge that they would like to share about these courses and which they would consider a better choice? I think my first choice is still MSISS because i'm afraid the maths and economics may be too intense and i would rather do these as modules not my entire course.
