Our School
We are a global leader in psychology. Our School represents a dynamic and diverse community of psychologists committed to equipping students with the skills, knowledge, and experience to excel in diverse careers. Our mission is to foster critical thinkers and adaptable professionals who contribute meaningfully to their fields and make a positive impact on society.
We are a leading centre of research and teaching in theoretical and applied psychology. All of our students also conduct research. Undergraduates and postgraduates are able to work on staff research via experience schemes, and all carry out their own research
The Tizard Centre is at the forefront of research into autism, intellectual disability and community care.
Your Voice in action
Changes made in the last year in the School of Psychology, with help from student feedback.
Also check the Your Uni Your Say webpage to see how student feedback has shaped University-wide changes.
Stronger Student Voice
In addition to Student Voice Forums, the School now runs school-wide surveys and stage-specific Town Halls with the Director of Studies to ensure you have the right opportunities to feedback on your course, and to update you on how your feedback has been acted on.
A stronger Employability focus
A new core module, Using Practical Psychology (6005), develops professional and employability knowledge and skills to support your future career.
Clearer information for your course
This includes improved organisation of Moodle pages to help you find resources easily, and clearer marking criteria with clearer assessment briefs and examples.
Academic Support
We now plan at least one session per module focused on preparing for assessments, to ensure that you have the support you need to feel prepared and best demonstrate your learning.
