About the School of Psychology
The School of Psychology is a community of over 1500 academics, researchers and students. We support ambitious and influential programmes of research that make a difference to individuals and societies, and we provide high level training across psychology and neuroscience.
Our research is guided by the curiosity and creativity of our researchers as well as by current and future needs of policy, practice, and industry. We integrate our research with our teaching to ensure that all our education programmes are challenging and contemporary, equipping our students and trainees with the conceptual and practical skills that will ensure they prosper when they graduate.
We are committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse community in which all members have a voice, fair access to opportunities and resources, and a clear understanding of their roles and responsibilities. We want to be a community where people will seek to join us because of how we do things as well as because of what we do.
Sustainability
As a School of Psychology, we are committed to embedding sustainable practices in all our activities, from our teaching provision to our research and in our day-to-day working practices, policies, and procedures. Sustainable practices are ways of working that allow us to meet our own needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
In the context of psychology, sustainability means considering the impact of our actions on both the environment and society. This includes utilizing natural resources efficiently, promoting mental and social well-being, and fostering economic stability. Our approach to sustainability involves integrating these principles into our curriculum, research initiatives, and community engagements, ensuring that our work supports not only the current generation but also those to come.
We aim to create a learning environment that encourages students and staff to think critically about sustainability and apply these principles in their professional and personal lives. By doing so, we strive to contribute to a healthier, more sustainable world, both psychologically and environmentally.
We have an active Green Impact Team composed of staff and students.
