>Psychological Studies in MH101 is a flexible degree option, ideal if you would like to learn about human behaviour in combination with another subject in the BA Arts Double Major pathway. This flexibility allows students to focus
on key aspects of Psychology alongside other subjects of interest. For example, you may wish to combine Psychological Studies with subjects like Criminology, Business, Sociology or Geography.
>Unlike MH106 and MH209, Psychological Studies in MH101 will not lead to a professionally-accredited degree. However, Psychological Studies graduates are eligible to apply for consideration for entry to a one-year master’s postgraduate programme to achieve a professionally- accredited qualification in psychology (on a competitive basis - with limited numbers).
>Teaching is delivered by leading researchers in Psychology involved in the cutting-edge of the discipline. Staff in the Department of Psychology at Maynooth University are highly research active, and enjoy state-of-the-art research facilities and technical support.
>Research in the Department applies cutting-edge psychological science to address four complementary overlapping themes: Rehabilitation, disability and health psychology; Mental health, community and positive psychology; Neuroscience, behaviour and cognition; and Organisations, policy and systems.
