The undergraduate programme reflects the theme that psychology is the examination of the mind and how it relates to behaviour.
Students cover a wide variety of topics ranging from social psychology to neuroscience.
The Department encourages students to become more analytic and critical in their approach to problems and improve their communication and group skills with practical classes, project work and oral presentations playing an important role in the undergraduate programme. The course aims to provide the academic foundation from which professional training and higher research skills can be developed. Indeed, many students with a psychology degree from Trinity go on to further education and research, while others find employment as clinical, educational or organisational psychologists.
