Psychology is the favourite science for students who want to get into the depths of human feelings. This is considered to be the science of mind and behaviour. More specifically, psychology wants to explore the way people think, act, and feel, by appealing to the emotional side of people.
Passion can lead students to choose this specialisation. It is not considered a difficult one, but it is not very easy to approach, as the theoretical elements of the discipline are combined with the practical ones.
After studying Psychology, students choose to specialise in a particular sub-field. Depending on their preference, they can choose between Biological Psychology, Cognitive Psychology, Comparative Psychology, Developmental Psychology, Personality Psychology and many others.
Psychology is a great opportunity to get to know each other better and to get to know others. Thus, students who are looking to understanding human behaviour, feelings and mind gain an inside vision of what these notions really mean and what determines people to make certain decisions and act under different circumstances.
The employment rate among Psychology graduates has grown in recent years. Salaries are satisfactory, and young people can focus either on psychological services in schools, hospitals, treatment centres, clinics, depending on the specialisation chosen. Furthermore, Psychology graduates can integrate a career in social media, marketing, and advertising, as they understand best the reasons why people choose to make decisions according to what they see in real life.
In the four years of Bachelor studies, graduates acquire the necessary knowledge to practice Psychology, initially learning the underlying theoretical notions. These notions become an important starting point in their career, seeing later how practice blends very well with theory. It should be noted that on the labour market, students who hold a Bachelor’s degree are much more appreciated and have an advantage over those who follow simple courses.
A Master’s program usually lasts between 2 and 3 years, coming as a complement to the Bachelor’s courses. Master courses have a much more loaded curriculum and a great deal of information. A Doctoral program is dedicated to students who want to do research in Psychology in various institutes or to become teachers. This has a duration of between 5 and 7 years.
UL has a very green, massive campus with lots of facilities. They also have a multitude of clubs and societies that cater to a range of interests, including surfing, photography, drama and more. The lecturers at UL are very engaging and informative, especially for my course.

View moreMy first year of college was fantastic; face-to-face lectures and seminars were crucial for meeting people; however, much of this has been lost due to covid.
It was a really well-planned course from the outset, with lectures and classes delivered by top authorities in the subject. I can’t speak for everyone at UL, but I do think it’s bad that the psychology facilities are outdated.
There may be no place in the world where a student can live like Limerick.
This course exceeded my expectations and I would suggest it to anyone who is interested in psychology.
The coursework, not the course itself, is the most difficult to succeed in.
View moreI love my time in UL, the campus is the nicest place ever. The psychology department is fantastic, they’re so on the ball. The only problem is how money driven the university is. They will charge students for everything, the president is constantly campaigning for more funding from the government and higher fees. What does he spend it on? Nothing of any substance, commissioning another piece of art maybe, or hiring more TAs for the sociology department which is the most hypocritical department in the world. I don’t feel like the quality of teaching facilities has improved since I started in 2017 and I fear this will be the downfall of UL
