What will I learn?

The MSc in Clinical and Community Psychology programme is based in the Department of Psychology, which has a strong focus on research and its application to clinical and community settings. This course represents an exit route for those interested in research careers in the voluntary/state sector and appointment as Assistant Psychologists in the health sector, and it provides an excellent basis for entry to doctoral-level degree programmes in psychology for those with a PSI-accredited undergraduate degree.Students in this course have an undergraduate degree that has been accredited by the professional organisation for psychologists (Psychology Society of Ireland) or a similar organisation (British Psychological Society). The MSc in Clinical and Community Psychology is not designed for this purpose. A master course designed for that purpose is our MA in Psychology. This programme provides candidates with advanced skills in the methods and topics of Clinical and Community Psychology. Candidates gain advanced research, analytical, and applied skills highly sought after in the field of clinical and community psychology, and in academic/commercial/social research environments.
