    Anyone have any particular advice around postgrad applications and so forth. I'm thinking of the H.Dip in psychology in particular, it's in a few places (UCD,TCD, UCC & NUIG). E.g. http://www.ucd.ie/psychology/pgcourses/hdip.html

    The personal statement, show why you're interested, talk yourself up but don't lie! Anything else? Relevant work experience etc. Is it good to read about what the special interests the staff and see if any of those match your own interests in the field rather than stating your general interest?

    I suppose the main thing is to get the application sorted and worry about interviews later, they don't call anyone for an interview anyway. I'm thinking of applying anyway and even if I don't get it it's best to get some practice at the application etc rather than going into it blindly next year.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    There's a psychology forum in Sci where you could ask this question also, could get a better response. Hopefully you'll get one here too though :)
