Many students report that this project, while challenging, is one of the most rewarding parts of the course. There are QQI/FET routes available for this course. Please see www.cao.ie for details. Assessment A combination of end-of-semester written examinations and continuous assessment is used. In your final year, you will also undertake a Capstone project. Study abroad opportunities Second and third-year undergraduates are eligible to apply to study for one or more semesters (usually a whole academic year) in certain other European psychology schools, and, where appropriate, some subsistence funding provided by the EU Erasmus fund. There are no basic course charges to be paid abroad. Assessment is carried out in the host (i.e. international) institution and is accepted by Trinity as if students were examined here. The School of Psychology has bilateral agreements with several European universities, including the University of Helsinki, Freie Universität Berlin, Erasmus University Rotterdam and Université Paris V.

The broad range of topics that I was able to study on the course, from health psychology to neuroscience, could have prepared me for a number of career paths not just within Psychology, but also in the wider world. I enjoyed my time so much during my degree, that when it came to choosing a field in which to complete a Ph.D., I felt that there was only one real choice. WHAT OUR CURRENT STUDENTS SAY Lisa Gannon Psychology has not only prepared me for my future career, it has prepared me for life. As a psychology student I have gained fascinating insights into the enigmatic human mind and the peculiarities of human behaviour. The diverse and comprehensive range of modules offered in psychology as well as the vast array of helpful resources made available by the school have equipped me with a rich theoretical understanding of the human psyche and an aptitude for critical thought. I hope to use the knowledge and skill I have gained through studying psychology to make a positive and valuable contribution to society. 121
