Research
The recently formed Psychology Research Centre has rapidly developed into a vibrant research community. The group brings together researchers in clinical and health psychology, cognition and neuroscience, developmental psychology and education, information and communications technology, and environmental psychology.
What research do we do?
Although we are continually growing and changing, there are four themes which encapsulate our research. These are ‘clinical & health psychology’, ‘cognition & recognition’, ‘social psychology & sustainable communities’ and ‘developmental psychology across the lifespan’.
