Psychology is a very broad discipline and the undergraduate degree in Psychology in UCD will introduce you to its major theories and research methods. The degree is recognised by the Psychological Society of Ireland and as such provides the foundation for further postgraduate training in any field of psychology. However, psychology graduates also go into a variety of other career paths including education, business and health. If you have a questioning attitude and good reasoning skills you will really enjoy the world opened up by psychology.
In Stage 1, you take 12 modules over two semesters. You must study core modules in Psychology and typically two or three other subjects including up to two modules from outside the BA programme area. Subsequently, Stage 2 students progress with a major in Psychology. Students also take two elective modules from within or outside their main subject area at Stage 2 of their degree programme. |
