Psychology is one of the most exciting and interesting subjects to study at third level. It is the study of human behaviour in all its forms, normal and abnormal, nature and learned, productive and destructive.

It is a modern and progressive area of study and, despite having a 150-year history, is currently experiencing unprecedented growth and development in Ireland and internationally. 

Psychological Foundations

This module is intended to introduce first time students to  the variety of subjects covered within the area of psychology.An important part of this module is learning about the scientific method which will explain some of the methods used to  carry out research in psychology as we ll as much of the terminology that is used in the discipline.

Foundations in Social Psychology

This module will examine the basic principles and themes within Social Psychology as well as recent research, trends and findings.  Students will explore the contributions made by Social Psychology to the understanding of the individual, the interpersonal processes and group processes.  

Developmental Psychology

This module will introduce the topic of developmental psychology, which can be defined as the systematic study of the developing person across the lifespan. Learners will discover the changes that occur across different domains of development throughout infancy and childhood, developmental theories and concepts, and the methods involved in developmental research.

DBS aims to give you the best possible campus and blended learning experience. All classes for 2020/21 will be taught on a hybrid learning basis. This means you will be on campus for some classes and other classes will be online. Your timetable will be available once you register for the programme and will advise you of which classes are on campus and which classes will be taken online.

Our objective is for every student to have as much classroom teaching as possible.   The amount of classroom teaching for any individual student is dependent upon how many other students are in the class.   On average we expect that while a 2-metre social distance requirement is in place for Colleges and Universities, a student will spend approximately one-third of their time in the classroom and the remainder online. 

All student services such as Career and Library Services, Student Welfare and Academic Support will still be fully available to all students. All of these support services are being reformatted for the new academic year so as students can access them online as well as on campus.

We would love to welcome you in person as per usual, but unconventional times call for creative alternatives – we will now be bringing the DBS experience straight to your home. Our Open Evening offers the perfect opportunity to speak with our team of expert lecturers and gain first hand knowledge on programmes offered across a variety of disciplines.

Realise your ambition from the comfort of your own home...This is a pre-registered event and therefore please register in advance of the date here. We will be in touch shortly with further information and details as we get closer to the event.

Hope to see you there!
