The MSc Psychology program is designed for aspiring psychology professionals who have completed a minimum of 60 psychology credits during their undergraduate studies but lack a degree qualifying them for Graduate Membership with the Psychological Society of Ireland (PSI) or Graduate Basis for Registration with the British Psychological Society. This rigorous program serves as a pre-professional qualification, equivalent to an undergraduate psychology degree, offering a conversion pathway for graduates holding honors degrees in Psychological Studies or similar fields. The curriculum focuses on psychological research methodologies, analytical skills, ethical standards in the profession, and hands-on applied research training.
