Bachelor of Science - Psychology and Mathematics (DC207)

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 behavior with high-level numeracy, analytical and problem-solving skills. 

By doing this course, students will gain in-depth knowledge and understanding of each discipline alongside a broad critical perspective on contemporary society. They’ll 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, students will study applied subjects such as coding and cryptography, which integrate psychology and math's.

Students will also develop a diverse set of transferable skills, all increasingly demanded by Irish and international employers. These include an understanding of human behavior, critical thinking, problem-solving, research methods, communication, and the ability to disseminate findings to varied audiences. 

In third year, students will gain practical experience during their INTRA work placement, which could be in neuroscience, finance, health, organizational or corporate psychology, or applied behavior analysis. Once they graduate, students 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.
