The BA Psychology is accredited by the Psychological Society of Ireland. For those who wish to become professional psychologists, the undergraduate degree is only the first stage in professional training that will require an additional two to six years of study and supervised experience.

As a psychologist, a wide range of career opportunities are available.

• Clinical, counselling and health psychologists provide assessment, therapy and consulting services in health care and occupational settings and in private practice.
• Educational psychologists are involved in assessment and intervention within the education setting.
• Occupational psychologists often work for large companies in consultancy and in management training centres.
• Forensic (criminological and legal) psychologists apply psychology to the criminal justice system.
• Sports and exercise psychologists work with sports participants from amateur to elite levels. 

Students who do not wish to pursue a career as a professional psychologist will benefit from the scientific rigour of the degree, along with developing research and communication skills. Many other professions including marketing, sales, community services, public policy and administration, call for these skills.

• MSc
• PhD
