Dublin Business School prides itself on promoting a work-life balance and providing tailored support services to help our part time students obtain their qualification. At our 2012 conferring ceremony held in the RDS this week, some of our students gave an insight into evening study at DBS.

“I have a nursing background and have always had a keen interest and desire to study psychology. I was delighted when an opportunity came about for me to study psychology at DBS. I thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of the course and found the College to be very professional and dynamic in it’s approaches to learning. Facilitation was core to the learning which made the course much more interesting and enjoyable. The quality and standards of teaching in the college are very high, making it challenging at times but well worth it. The course is recognised and accredited by the Psychological Society of Ireland (PSI) which I felt was one of the most important factors for deciding where to study Psychology. All staff at DBS are very committed to their individual roles, from front of desk to senior lecturers. What I have done and learnt from my Degree at DBS has placed me on a passionate and fulfilling career in Psychology.”

Whether your interest is in progressing towards a career in social care, professional social research or policy analysis, for example, or whether you are interested in a broad-based undergraduate education, the BA (Hons) Social Science is the degree for you.

From social policy and aging to language and crime, students will be challenged to think in a rigorous and scientific way about social processes, institutions and policies. From the first to the final year of the programme there is a consistent emphasis on training students to carry out their own research and to critically challenge the world around them.

Learners graduating with a BA (Hons) in Social Science will, depending on final year grades, be eligible for postgraduate training in social science related areas in Ireland and abroad, such as social work, addiction studies, sociology, anthropology, criminology, research methodology, etc. The knowledge base and skill set acquired during their years of study will also equip learners for postgraduate work across a variety of other fields. Those learners who wish to seek work directly upon graduation will be ideally placed to gain employment commercially, in the fast expanding niche of social research in established institutions, or on funded research projects. Nongovernmental organisations, the communications industry and the emerging information sector have also shown high levels of demand for graduates trained in social scientific research methods.

We are now accepting applications for the Evening Degree in Social Science, commencing Spring and Autumn 2013. To learn more about the programme, or to discuss your application, please contact our Admissions Office on 01-4177500 or by email on admissions@dbs.ie
