We have an excellent reputation for teaching and research and currently hold over £7 million of research grants and contracts. The school is at the centre of the campus in buildings that have been modernised to meet our particular needs.

Our facilities include laboratories specially equipped for work in cognition; psychophysics; visual perception; auditory perception; speech production; human motor performance; cognitive neuropsychology; cognitive neuroscience (ERP, TMS and FMRI); food, drink and nutritional psychology; physiological psychology; psychopharmacology; social psychology; and developmental psychology. We also have a clinical psychology centre to support professional training and research in clinical psychology.

Our laboratories and offices are equipped with computers for experimental control, data collection and analysis, and word processing. There are dedicated brain imaging workstations for work in perception and cognitive science. In addition, we have four computer laboratories, networked to the University’s central computers, which are available to all our students.
