  • The Director (or nominee) of the Final Year Projects, the MSc/Doctorate in Applied Behaviour Analysis, the MSc in Health Psychology, and the Doctor of Psychological Science (Clinical Psychology) (core members).
  • Other members (non-core) as may be deemed appropriate from time-to-time (e.g., seconding of persons with expertise relevant to the assessment of particular applications).
