Psychology is the scientific study of mental life and behaviour. It involves areas such as Brain and Behaviour, Social Psychology, Cognitive Psychology, Developmental Psychology and Psychological Research Methods. Students graduate with a Psychological Society of Ireland (PSI) accredited degree. In third year students have the option of spending one semester on work placement or studying abroad, and one semester on a research internship (all subject to availability). You will study the human mind and behaviours with the rigours of scientific testing. You will use research methods including observation, measurement, hypothesis testing, experimentation, logical inference and statistical analysis. If your ambition is to have a career as a professional psychologist, you will be interested in the variety of career paths are available, both within and outside psychology that an accredited Psychology degree opens up.
