At the School of Psychology you have access to facilities such as:

an observational suite and fully equipped video studios

Our RPS (Research Participation Scheme) is the first opportunity for students to engage with research in the labs, by being a participant in current and ongoing research within the school. Whether this be as a participant in a brain stimulation study: EEG, TMS, tDCS, or get hands on in a Virtual Reality (VR) study. This scheme prepares you for your own research in your final year and beyond.

Our RES (Research Experience Scheme) also gives second-year students an opportunity to join teams of academics and PhD students working on cutting-edge psychological research.

You have access to the School of Psychology’s collection in the University’s Templeman Library, including one of the country’s largest collections of books on social psychology and extensive digital materials. We also have a large collection of frequently used books and journals in our MSc study area and a psychometric test library.
