The Centre for Integrative Neuroscience and Neurodynamics provides access to modern technology and expertise in cognitive and computational neuroscience. We also have facilities for experimental and observational research, including a number of specialist laboratories. These include virtual reality, ageing, infant vision, infant language, auditory perception, body kinematics, psychophysiology, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and electroencephalogram (EEG).

Our degrees take a current approach to the practice of psychology, and you take mandatory modules in a range of analytical methods. You will benefit from the many collaborative ventures of staff and from their involvement with national and international research projects, professional societies and funding bodies, as well as opportunities to participate in academic dissemination, such as conferences and scientific journals.

In the latest national assessment, 98% of research overall from the School of Psychology and Clinical Language Sciences was rated as world leading, internationally excellent or internationally recognised (REF, 2014 – Psychology, Psychiatry and Neuroscience).
