The School of Psychology and Sport Science brings together two of ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ’s highly performing departments: Psychology, and Sport and Exercise Sciences. Our world-leading research spans cognitive neuroscience, clinical interventions, psychological wellbeing, elite performance, physical activity, health and applied human physiology, and has significant real-world impact. We are also proud of our excellence in teaching and learning which is similarly acknowledged nationally and globally. Our research-informed teaching includes a wide portfolio of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes and offers a clear and progressive ‘pathway’ model of education to enable students to travel from undergraduate studies through to the postgraduate opportunities which will make them competitive in a wide range of professional contexts (from Masters, PhD, to DClinPsy, to a multitude of graduate careers). Our subjects are regularly ranked amongst the top ten in the UK in the National Student Satisfaction Survey, and together with our research, this ensures a vibrant learning experience with academics who have an international reputation in their specialist area.
As a School we are committed to educating future societal contributors and leaders. We are committed to promoting and enhancing equality, diversity, and inclusion within our School. We have a wonderful sense of community within the School, a genuine care for our students, and excellent opportunities for internships and work placements.
