Make an application today for September 2024

Professional Body: The Psychological Society of Ireland

The Higher Diploma in Arts in Psychology is a level 8 QQI accredited Postgraduate course for graduates who wish to pursue a professional career or postgraduate study in psychology but who don't hold an honours degree in psychology.

The course enables students to study key areas of psychology in a thriving research environment and, through a supervised research dissertation, explore practical issues of interest and relevance to a range of theoretical and occupational fields. Students will develop a firm knowledge base in psychology and gain experience of the research process that will build upon the skills and knowledge that they have already acquired in earlier studies. The Higher Diploma represents the necessary first step to becoming a professional psychologist. Upon successful completion of the Higher Diploma, depending upon the final grade, graduates will be eligible to apply to enter postgraduate training courses in their chosen specialisation and ultimately gain employment in their area of expertise.

Applications for the September 2024 intake are now being accepted. Contact us today on 01-4177500 or email admissions@dbs.ie.
