BSc in Physics with Data Analytics - opens up students to valuable opportunities right across the contemporary world of work and will equip them for both technical and managerial roles, and most importantly, for roles where they’ll need to bridge both worlds and speak the language of both technical and business teams.
DCU BSc in Psychology and Mathematics 
DCU School of Psychology are ready for the first intake of students to their new integrated psychology and mathematics course.This course gives students advanced numeracy and analytical skills, while also equipping them with a psychologist’s understanding of human behaviour. Graduates will be able to apply their mathematical skills to interpret data around how humans think, act, react and interact.
Students will not only be able to produce complex data models, but also to interpret them through the lens of psychology, meaning they can bring real value to strategic, operational and human-focused decision-making when they enter the world of work.
The course has been developed in line with pre-professional Psychological Society of Ireland accreditation principles.
DCU BSc in Psychology and Disruptive Technologies

Industry partners will be heavily involved in creating and delivering some of the course content, and the course has been designed to support the accelerated development of interdisciplinary and entrepreneurship expertise in Psychology and Computing from the time students graduate rather than having to pursue postgraduate degrees or extensive in-house training.
Graduates could end up working in a myriad of sectors including technology itself, healthcare, education, business and entrepreneurship.
Similar to other accredited Psychology degrees, students will also have the option to pursue a postgraduate qualification in psychology if they wish to become professional psychologists.
