Overview

This new Applied Psychology (Hons) programme at the Technological University of the Shannon is being offered from September 2018. Psychology is the scientific study of the human mind and behaviour. It examines how we think, feel, act and interact with other people. It examines questions such as: What makes each person unique? How can we communicate so that others understand us better? How can we make teams work efficiently? How can we help people to overcome anxiety? How can we make our dreams become a reality? If you are interested in similar types of questions, then this course is likely to be relevant to you.

Learning Outcomes

The course will be relevant to anyone wishing to pursue a longer-term career in psychology. It is also an ideal stepping stone to post-graduate study either within psychology or in other areas of social science.

You will develop skills in research, problem-solving, critical thinking and analysis, communication and professional development. If you are interested in these and similar types of questions, then this course is likely to be relevant to you.
