    Hi Helena

    I did this course from 2011 to 2013 and am currently in my third year in busisness and management. could not fault the course as there are so many different subject options which would be able to help you to determine what course you want to go into after the two years . there are a range of subjects in both years with year 1 having subjects such as quants, accounting and communications and computers

    in year two you can choose between many different options such as accounting, hrm , finance and computers.

    most of my class went on to a level eight. you can get into level eight as long as you pass all your subjects but in order to get your first option you would have to do a good bit better. you can get into year 2 or three of most courses depending on your results

    hope that helps you a bit

    UCD and DCU will take applications for DCU require at least 70% (1.1) because places are limited. UCD require at least 60% (2.1) however a B3 in O Level Maths are LC is required also.

    The majority of students get around 60%. Once you complete your CA they go a long way towards the exams as many modules they are worth 30-40% so you have a good idea of what you need in the exam to.
