Department of Psychology, Neursocience & Behaviour Statement for #ShutDownAcademia #ShutDownSTEM, Wednesday 10th June, 2020

As scientists, experimental psychologists conduct research to help understand why people think, feel, and behave the way they do. As clinicians, counsellors, or other practitioners, psychologists apply scientific understanding toward helping individuals, institutions, and society deal with issues relating to human behaviour and happiness.

Our Department focuses on teaching, involving students in interdisciplinary research and the training of the next generation of behavioural and psychological scientists.

Our graduate program introduces students to the current issues and questions in the field of experimental psychology. We work with both the theory behind and the research approaches used to study these problems.

Our researchers work in fields ranging from animal behaviour to neuroscience to evolution and social behaviour…

Find out more about supervisors and our courses, which are designed to give you hands-on experience.

Our research doesn’t just happen in the lab. We study in animal behaviour in the field too.
