Msc Psychology in National University of Ireland, Maynooth, Ireland
Msc Psychology in National University of Ireland, Maynooth
Description
The MSc Psychology is intended for students who wish to pursue a professional career in psychology, who have already studied at least 60 credits of psychology in their undergraduate degree, but who do not currently hold an undergraduate qualification that confers eligibility for Graduate Membership of the Psychological Society of Ireland (PSI) or Graduate Basis for Registration with the British Psychological Society. This intensive course is designed to provide a pre-professional qualification equivalent to a bachelor degree in psychology and, as such, offers a conversion route for graduates who hold an honours degree in Psychological Studies or equivalent. Emphasis is on psychological research methods and analytic techniques, professional ethics, and applied research experience.
Course Structure
This is an intensive Masters Psychology conversion course offered on a fulltime basis over 1 year (90 credits) and designed for students with prior learning in psychology. Masters students will attend lectures, tutorials, laboratory and practical classes, and seminars, and will conduct an independent research project.
Course Duration: 1 Year Full Time
Career Options
As the MSc Psychology is a pre-professional qualification, for careers in professional psychology disciplines (e.g. clinical psychology, educational psychology, occupational psychology, counselling psychology) further training at Masters or doctoral level is required. Graduates who do not wish to pursue professional psychology careers may consider a variety of career and employment options including roles in advertising, the civil service, human resources, and recruitment consultancy. Psychological Society of Ireland accreditation for this course is pending, and is expected to be achieved in 2020.
