“ Hi, I’m Leon. I’m a Psychology (through Science) graduate and a former Maynooth University Students’ Union President. Studying Psychology at MU was one of the best things I ever did. I had a wide choice of subjects I could pursue. The people were all so friendly and extracurricular activities were so much fun. Psychology was so fascinating. Learning about how different diseases affect the brain to how we behave in groups really gripped me. If you are interested in learning about people, this course is for you. I use psychology a lot in my day-to-day life. I work as a recruiter across Europe, the Middle East and Africa for Slack. I need to discover people’s motivations quickly to see if they are right for us. I also run an anti-racism organisation called Black and Irish. I use many aspects I learned in psychology to plan our campaigns and tailor our messaging. The Psychology Department in MU have some of the best teachers in the world. I would fully recommend this course.” Leon Diop Graduate BSc Psychology, EMEA Recruiter @ Slack, Co-founder Black and Irish
