MA/HDip Psychology

Elceeney

Firstly, excuse me if this is the wrong forum.

This semester I will be graduating from NUIG with a degree in Arts where I studied Psychological Studies as well as Sociology with Politics. I want to continue on to study psychology and ideally enter a 1-year conversion course to get the same accreditation as those who done solely psychology.

To my understanding there are three courses which I could look at:
NUIG HDip Psychology Conversion
TCD MA in Psychology
UL MA in Psychology

The NUIG course is really competitive and also doesn't leave me with the added benefit of a masters unlike the other two but it also means I can stay in Galway, which I love.

Would anybody be able to explain to me the pros and cons of either of these courses? I've heard that Trinity has more of a focus on neuropsychology while UL has more of a focus on social psychology. I have very little interest interest in neuropsychology so this could be a decider for me.

I am aware that there is a price difference between these courses and that SUSI would potentially cover some of my fees for the NUIG course (but I'd also have to pay for my masters later on...)

Dublin Business School also do a two year H.Dip conversion course in Psychology; you can do it full or part time.
