Hi guys, Im in 6th year and i need to make a decision about what i wanna do in college. I always wanted to do psychology but I wont get more thank 400 points in my leaving cert. I was thinking about going dbs or ncirl because you dont need that much points to do psychology, but the costs are very high e5,500+ what do you guys think? would it be worth it? im thinking about doing 3 years and then doing a master. does anyone know if studying psychology is hard? and what can i do after i get my masters ? can i become a psychologist after that? do you know any other colleges that do psychology courses with no more than 400 points, i wont hide that dbs or nci are my dream colleges because they are not, i always wanted to go to ucd tbh but you need 500 or more points, if i did a plc course would i be then be able to get into ucd does anyone know?

This would be better suited for the leaving cert forum, and I can't answer your other questions, but NUIG offers psychology as part of the joint arts degree for 300 points, and you can transfer into denominated psychology after 1st year. Only stipulation is that you need to be in the top 100 students (out of 600, but not all of whom want to continue with it, so places will open up).
