Quality teaching and support for students

The School of Psychology has an international staff team from several continents with a wealth of expertise in a range of subject and research areas.

There are opportunities for you to work collaboratively with staff on research projects and to present outcomes at prestigious conferences.

The School of Psychology is innovative in its use of different teaching methods which include virtual learning environments, computer based learning and assessment, and multimedia instruction.

Enhancing employability

We have conducted research into how the skills fostered by our courses support students’ transitions to employment.

The results of the research have been applied directly to our curricula with the aim of developing the “professional student”.

We believe thereby that we can deliver courses that have both strong psychology content but also provide students with the opportunities to develop skills and attributes for future employability.

Excellent facilities

We have a number of specialist laboratories where much of your learning will take place.

Many of the resources are available for students to use to conduct their own research and the labs are open for access when teaching is not taking place. The labs include:

• Research Cubicles
• Biological and Cognitive Psychology Lab
• Human Interaction Laboratory (includes observation window)
• General Psychology/IT Lab
• Psychology Laboratories Support Office
• Cognitive Neuropsychology Lab

There is also an excellent learning resources centre and a specialist subject liaison tutor to provide help, advice and information.
