Research

Research in Psychology aims to describe, predict and explain human behaviour. The range of questions addressed varies enormously, from very fundamental questions about perception, to applied questions about health. Across these questions, psychology research is unified by a scientifically rigorous approach to understanding human experience. This is done based on empirical observations made at multiple levels, right through from overt behaviour to subtleties of neural activity.

The school is extremely fortunate to have a critical mass of academic staff, research fellows, and postgraduate students working in both school-led research teams and university wide research centres. Across these activities we collaborate widely with other international academic research centres of excellence, and our work is generously sponsored.‌
