About Us
The Early Graduate Group supports psychology graduates for the first ten years after they complete their undergraduate degree. Our aim is to help and support early career psychologists in their journey toward attaining their career goals.
The Early Graduate Group are committed to supporting early career graduates to navigate the field of psychology in Ireland (and beyond!). To support with this, we host multiple events a year, including an annual conference, where graduates can hear from experts from a variety of subdisciplines within Psychology, have a chance to network and meet other likeminded individuals at the same stage of their career as them.
We welcome early career psychologists who are interested in all areas of psychology.
