A very unique programme in DBS, that helps students develop their understanding of organisational Pyschology, is the BA (Hons) Business with Psychology. This full-time three year programme will provide students with an appropriate base of relevant business and management knowledge. Particular emphasis is places on organisational psychology. Also refered to as I/O psychology, it is the scientific study of employees, workplaces, and organizations. It contributes to the organization's success by improving work place practises and the performance, satisfaction and well-being of its people.
Graduates from this programme will have developed an understanding of the complexity of human nature therefore career opportunities for graduates are numerous. The wide-ranging nature of knowledge and skills gained by business psychology graduates makes them an attractive proposition for any prospective employer, working in Human Resources departments or specialising in research within companies to aid in marketing research . Graduating students wishing to pursue further qualifications can also proceed to post-graduate programmes up to Masters level or to programmes leading to professional qualifications.
Across the three years, students are given the opportunity to to study many key areas and aspects of business complemented by specific insights into the psychological aspects of work and organisational behaviour to an appropriate depth and are encouraged to use the benefits of the programme to further their business careers.
In year 1 students study six manditory subjects that provide them with a knowledge of the core business areas and disciplins. In second year, this knowledge is built on by developing an understanding of the key business disciplines. Students are also introduced to the historical development of psychology with particular emphasis is placed on the role of society in understanding the psychology of the person in terms of perception, attitudes and culture. In their final year, students focus is on Strategy, International Business and Human Resource Management while further the psychology component is broken into the Psychology of Organisations and Personality and Individual Differences.

Applications open for Transfer Students
We have been busy this week processing a number of applications from students who wish to transfer to DBS from other level 6 and 7 awards in DBS and also from other institutions.
Interested in discussing a possible transfer? Contact the admissions office today! Remember - you will need a level 8 award to be eligible for the majority of masters programmes in Ireland. There is no fee to apply and no fee to have your file assessed so why not apply today and unlock your potential.
Why not check out the guidelines which generally apply to all transfer applications to see where you might fit in. It is important to note that the level at which you may enter a programme will not be confirmed until your application and official college transcripts have been received.
Higher Certificate Applicants:
A higher certificate sits at level 6 on the National Framework of Qualifications (NFQ) and as such applicants will generally be processed for entry to final year of an ordinary degree or 2nd year of an honours degree with 2 years left to complete. Obviously, the applicant must present evidence of having completed the same (or similar) modules as our own students would have in the form of academic transcripts.
Higher National Diploma Award Applicants:
A HND award is UK based and as such is not fully alligned to the Irish NFQ sitting in between level 6 and level 7. As a result of this, it must be treated as a level 6 award and the guidelines which apply to the Higher Certificates (above) will also apply to HND graduates.
FETAC level 6
FETAC level 6 graduates are also treated in the same way as Higher Certificate graduates
Ordinary Degree
An ordinary degree sits at level 7 on the NFQ and level 7 graduates will be processed for final year entry to an honours degree in a cognate discipline.
