The Trinity College Dublin International Foundation Programme is specifically for students who have the drive and ambition to attend a world-class educational institute but cannot begin an international undergraduate degree directly. Trinity College Dublin's International Foundation Programme is a year-long programme designed to allow students to develop the skills required to succeed and excel in a competitive university environment.

The Trinity College Dublin International Foundation Programme is delivered at the campus of Trinity College Dublin’s associated college, Marino Institute of Education, where excellent student facilities and guaranteed on-site accommodation are available.

Psychology is the study of human behavior and mental processes. It includes topics such as infant and child development, perception, learning, motivation, cognitive processes (like memory and problem solving), individual differences and social psychology, and has many of the features of a science course, such as practical work, statistical description and analysis of data and courses on the underlying physiology of the human brain.

The School of Psychology aims to offer a knowledge base and a set of skills that not only equip students for the many careers that exist in psychology, but also prepare them intellectually for other careers.

Psychology is a branch of science that demands clear, rigorous thinking, numeracy and the ability to define, study and solve problems in complex, changing settings. It is also an applied science that deals with how people act and behave in the real world and provides support for people in their social life and work, for example, through clinical and counselling interventions.
