BSc (Honours) in Psychology

Psychology is concerned with all aspects of behaviour and the thoughts, feelings and motivations underlying such behaviour.

DCU’s BSc in Psychology, offered through the School of Nursing and Human Sciences, is accredited by the Psychological Society of Ireland (PSI). This ensures that the course meets the highest standards for undergraduate pre-professional training in psychology.
