BA (Hons) (Applied Psychology) - CK120

NFQ Level 8, Major Award

Note: Every effort has been made to ensure that the programme and module content as described in the University's Calendar and Book of Modules for the 2020-21 academic year are accurate. However, due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, no guarantee is given that programme/module content, delivery and assessment may not be altered, cancelled, replaced, augmented or otherwise amended. Any changes will ensure the same competencies and Learning Outcomes are met. Programme and/or Module Coordinators will communicate any such changes to students.

NOTE: From 2018/19 First Year CK120 – BA (Hons) (Applied Psychology) will consist of 60 credits of Applied Psychology modules. It will no longer be possible to take 30 credits of Applied Psychology with two other subjects from First Arts. As a result of these changes to First Year Applied Psychology, there will be changes in content of Second Year Applied Psychology from 2019/20 and in content of Third Year Applied Psychology from 2020/21.

This three-year BA (Hons) programme focuses on the study of Applied Psychology and is recognised for graduate membership by the Psychological Society of Ireland.

To be eligible for the award of the BA (Hons) degree a student will be required to have achieved 180 credits by obtaining 60 credits in each of First, Second, and Third Arts (Applied Psychology). A student may not register for more than 60 credits in one academic year.
