教育心理学的专业培训通常分为两个级别，即硕士和专业博士学位，这两种选择都可在UCD教育学院获得。教育心理学硕士是许多司法管辖区的标准专业资格。但是，在爱尔兰的情况下，在教育心理学硕士课程中可获得的专业安置经验不太可能使毕业生在获得资格后（例如在爱尔兰的医疗机构中）利用所有可用的职业选择。因此，教育心理学硕士课程更有可能适用于国际申请者，而不是爱尔兰申请者。有关教育心理学专业博士学位的信息，请参见此处。教育心理学硕士课程涉及教学内容，丰富的专业实习经验以及开展研究项目。该计划鼓励学生成为自主学习者和批判性思
Professional training in Educational Psychology is generally available at two levels, Master's level and Professional Doctorate level, and both options are available at UCD School of Education. The MA in Educational Psychology is the standard professional qualification in many jurisdictions. However, within the Irish context, the professional placement experience available within the MA in Educational Psychology programme is unlikely to enable graduates to avail of the full range of available career options post-qualification, such as in Irish healthcare settings. The MA in Educational Psychology programme is, therefore, more likely to be applicable to international applicants rather than Irish applicants. For information on the Professional Doctorate in Educational Psychology, see here. The MA in Educational Psychology involves taught components, extensive professional placement experience and the conducting of a research project. The programme encourages students to become autonomous learners and critical thinkers who will progress, change and develop the profession nationally and internationally.
