For graduates who hold an honours degree in a non-psychology field but aspire to pursue a professional career or further study in psychology, the Higher Diploma in Arts in Psychology at Dublin Business School (DBS) offers an ideal starting point.

This comprehensive programme equips students with a solid foundation in key areas of psychology while offering the opportunity to explore areas of personal or professional interest through a supervised research dissertation. Studying in a dynamic academic environment, students engage with both the theoretical frameworks and the practical application of psychology, building a knowledge base that is essential for postgraduate training and professional practice.

Through this one-year full-time or two-year part-time programme, students:

  • Gain in-depth understanding of psychological theories and principles
  • Build critical research skills and analytical thinking
  • Prepare for further specialist training in fields such as clinical, counselling, forensic, organisational, or educational psychology

Graduates who complete the programme successfully, depending on their final result, will be eligible to apply for postgraduate training leading to professional qualification in psychology.

Whether you’re looking to pivot your career or deepen your academic journey, the Higher Diploma at DBS is your first essential step toward becoming a psychologist.
