1. Introduction of 'Accounting' and 'Finance' as two new subjects available in MH101 Arts and other related Arts degrees from September 2011.
We are pleased to advise that both 'Accounting' and 'Finance' have been added to the Arts degree listings, and will be available for students entering the University this September. Accounting is in Group 8 and Finance is in Group 6.
Further details regarding the modules in each of these subjects are available at: http://www.nuim.ie/courses/
Students taking Accounting, Mathematical Studies and Economics (not
Finance) may transfer to the second year of the Finance and Accounting
(MH403) degree (subject to passing first year and achieving 60% in the Accounting subject is first year), or the Finance and Economics (MH401) degree.
Currently the Teaching Council is undertaking a review of the process in relation to applications for subject approval from colleges for teaching purposes. When the process opens, we will be making an application for the approval of Accounting through Arts for recognition. The Finance and Accounting degree does have Teaching Council approval with Accounting in Arts following a similar suite of modules in Accounting.
2. Due to the introduction of Accounting as a first Arts subject, the combination of Finance and Economics (MH401) or International Finance and Economics (MH408) with a minor in Mathematical Studies, Chinese or French is no longer available. We are writing to applicants to these degree programmes to advise them of this change. Students wishing to take these subjects in combination with Finance may do so via the Arts degree (MH101), with the option of a third year abroad in either China or France and obtain a BA Finance (International) degree.
3. The University Day which consists of a range of mini-lectures in each academic discipline/course as well as aspects regarding student life will take place on Saturday, June 25th. Further details on http://gomaynooth.ie/
