Bachelor of Science - Psychology (DC208)

This Psychological Society of Ireland-accredited course was the first psychology program in Ireland to offer a work placement opportunity.

While psychologists differ in their interests and the type of work they do, they all approach the study of behavior in a scientific way. During the course, students will gain knowledge, skills and experience in all core areas in psychology. With a maximum of 40 students in each year group, students benefit from access to academic staff and support as they need it.  

Build a toolkit of valuable skills

Students will also develop visual, written, and communication skills, transferable to many areas of professional work and engagement. These include skills in problem solving, numeracy and statistics, critical, creative and innovative thinking, decision making, communication and leadership, health literacy, organization, team working and IT.

Graduates may go on to further study in a specialism, such as research psychology, clinical psychology, counselling, education, organizational or occupational psychology, sports psychology or biopsychology. Psychology graduates are among the most sought after in general, so students could also pursue any of a broad and diverse range of roles in the public or private sector.

In third year, students will do an INTRA placement in a clinical, corporate or other environment.
