Welcome to the School of Applied Psychology, which I am very proud to lead.
We are committed to providing an undergraduate training in Applied Psychology which compares favourably with similar programmes anywhere in the world by our dedication to and depth of knowledge about the application of psychology; our postgraduate programs in addition capitalise on our strong research standing both in Applied Psychology and related areas. Graduates from our school are recognised as Members by the Psychological Society of Ireland and cognate organisations in Ireland and beyond.
We have three broad strands of research effort: People and Technology, Psychological Measurement, and Wellbeing and Social Engagement. Each group seeks to publish world class research and to attract research funding which will enable this effort and enhance the research facilities and support available to staff and students.
