Overview
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.
The Psychology degree from Maynooth University is a four year route to a 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.
Students use research methods including observation, measurement, hypothesis testing, experimentation, logical inference and statistical analysis.
Career Options
A variety of career paths are available, both within and outside psychology: for students who aim to pursue a career as a professional psychologist, an undergraduate degree is the first stage in professional training that will require an additional two to six years of study and supervised experience.
Examples of professional psychologists include:
- Clinical Psychologists, who work in healthcare settings;
- Educational Psychologists, who work in schools;
- Organisational Psychologists, who work in business and work settings.
A variety of career paths outside of psychology are also open to graduates. Some graduates choose to pursue postgraduate conversion courses in different fields of interest.
