Welcome

We are a high quality research and teaching institution with over 60 members of academic, research and support staff. Please watch our three minute video.

Our undergraduate degree in Psychology (rated 'Excellent' in the latest QAA Subject Review) engages students in a vibrant research-led learning environment working alongside leaders in their field. We also have two attractive Masters courses, and a thriving population of PhD students actively engaged in research.

Research Excellence

Our highly active research encompasses three major groups; Biological Psychology, Cognitive Psychology, and Health and Social Psychology. Within these broad divisions, groups conduct research funded by research councils, government and industry on a huge range of topics, from studies addressing fundamental qualities of the human mind to those dealing with practical applications of psychological theory.
