Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Mathematics (Honours)

The BSc in Psychology and Mathematics is the first course in Ireland to integrate these subjects, preparing students for a career combining the interpretation of human behaviour with high-level numeracy, analytical and problem-solving skills. By doing this course, youll gain in-depth knowledge and understanding of each discipline alongside a broad critical perspective on contemporary society. Youll delve into the different fields of psychology along with studying calculus, probability, computing, statistics and data analysis. Research literacy is also a core focus. Moreover, youll study applied subjects such as coding and cryptography, which integrate psychology and maths.
Youll also develop a diverse set of transferable skills, all increasingly demanded by Irish and international employers. These include an understanding of human behaviour, critical thinking, problem-solving, research methods, communication, and the ability to disseminate findings to varied audiences. In third year, youll gain practical experience during your INTRA work placement, which could be in neuroscience, finance, health, organisational or corporate psychology, or applied behaviour analysis. Once you graduate, you could go on postgraduate studies (including a qualification in teaching) or pursue a role as a market or financial analyst, a human resource officer or a business consultant, among many other possibilities. This course has been developed in line with pre-professional Psychological Society of Ireland accreditation principles and is currently pending confirmation of PSI accreditation.
