Bristol School of Psychological Science

Reflecting the international focus of the University as a whole, our staff and students come from many countries, and we have numerous successful international research collaborations. 

We are committed to ensuring equality and diversity within the School, and currently hold a Bronze Athena SWAN award.

We seek to provide an excellent educational experience to our students, supporting their development, and working alongside them to continually review and improve our teaching.

Our students benefit from being taught and supervised in an intellectually rich environment by staff who are working at the forefront of the discipline.  Members of the School have won a number of awards for their research, highlighting their contribution to Psychology nationally and internationally.

Our research spans developmental, social, cognitive and biological psychology, neuropsychology, and vision science.  It has applications in areas ranging from human performance, memory, and communication to addiction and neurological disease.

Members of the School engage actively with the public and other potential audiences to share our passion for Psychology and the findings of our work.

The School houses state of the art equipment for measuring eye movements, electrical brain activity, and locomotion. 

We also meet regularly with our External Advisory Board to ensure that our teaching and research continues to stay up-to-date and has real-world relevance.
