About us
The School of Psychology and Neuroscience, situated within the College of Medical, Veterinary and Life Sciences, was founded in 2022 from the amalgamation of the former School of Psychology and Institute of Neuroscience. Researchers in the school work across the spectrum of investigation from study of social interaction all the way to investigation of how connections beween neurons change after experience. This breadth of research enquiry is reflected in our two teaching programmes, Neuroscience and Psychology.
Our Teaching
We teach psychology and neuroscience programmes at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. We develop critical evaluation skills as well as an understanding of the importance of open research. We also develop graduate skills for the wider work environment. All of our single and joint honours psychology undergraduate programmes and our MSc conversion programmes are accredited by the British Psychological Society.
We also undertake pedagogical research, using our psychology expertise to better understand how students learn, and how we can enhance our teaching.
Our teaching is rated as world-class, being rated in the top 100 worldwide in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings, as well as 4th in the UK in the Guardian Best Universities for Psychology league table.
