2022 Welcome to the UCD School of Psychology
We are looking forward to welcoming new and returning students to the School in September 2022.
As we continue to deal with the effects of the global pandemic, faculty may, at short notice, be unable to attend campus for health reasons. Thus, alternative arrangements may need to be made at short notice. We will endeavour to inform you of any changed arrangements as soon as possible via email or via Brightspace. Please check your emails regularly.
Most of all, we look forward to meeting you at lectures and classes shortly and to the start of a great new academic year!

Information on Teaching and Assessment in Psychology
Your timetable information for the Autumn Trimester will be made available via SISWeb following registration. We aim to deliver our programmes in the most effective way with modules using different types of assessment, with staggered deadlines over the course of the trimester. It is important to review module information in your online learning environment, Brightspace, to ensure that you are aware of tasks/assessments associated with each module.
Supports in UCD
One of the most important points of contact for students is your Student Adviser. They offer practical and emotional support for students within the College. Our dedicated Adviser in the College of Social Sciences and Law is Kieran Moloney, kieran.moloney@ucd.ie For Graduate Research students, your Student Adviser is Carita Bramhill, carita.bramhill@ucd.ie
We are also aware that students can face huge financial burdens while attending college. Information on financial supports available to students within UCD can be found here.
