About the course

A three-year psychology degree covering areas such as clinical, personality, cognitive, social and developmental psychology, along with research methods and statistics, with attention to how psychology and technology meet. The English track is taught fully in English; a separate Dutch track also exists.

Entry requirements for Irish students

  • Leaving Certificate (Established or LCVP): at least 6 subjects, with at least 2 at grade H5 or better. These 2 must be Mathematics (or Applied Mathematics) and one other elective subject, such as Physics, Chemistry or Biology. The other 4 subjects need at least O6 or H7. You also need a minimum of 350 CAO points. If you took English as an exam subject, you do not need a separate English test.
  • The Psychology pages list no extra subject requirement for Irish applicants, so Higher Level Maths at H5 or better (from the general Irish rule) is the key subject requirement. Confirm with the university.
