Psychology at Reading

Top teaching from internationally renowned psychologists
Psychology is the science of behaviour and experience. At Reading we study this at many levels – from the structure and function of the brain, and the behaviour of individuals, to social and cultural processes. We apply our knowledge to help people with difficulties and to improve social conditions.
