MA in Educational Psychology UCD??

[deaniedarling]

Having read the entry requirements to this course in UCD I have a few questions.

Applicants must also have at least two years professional experience, excluding placement experience gained as part of acquiring professional qualifications.
.. would this include teaching experience?


Short-listing of applicants for interview normally occurs. In judging applicants’ suitability, account will be taken of academic qualifications, professional experience, interpersonal skills, research record and potential, and communication, academic writing and presentation skills. Consideration of overall personal suitability for the role of educational psychologist and the quality of references are also integral elements of the selection process.

...does this mean one would need to have done research? or a postgrad of somesort to prove skills in these areas?
What should I be doing to ensure I can tick all the boxes?

You had better ask the relevant department in UCD those questions.
