Psychology

Psychology at Exeter has over 120 academic, research and clinical training staff and over 500 postgraduate students, including more than 400 students registered on accredited clinical training programmes. Our staff are recognised internationally for their academic excellence, high-quality research and applied output. They actively research the areas of psychology they teach, so their expertise feeds directly into our research-led programmes.

We place a strong emphasis on your personal and professional development, as well as academic performance, and are committed to providing a friendly and stimulating intellectual environment.

You will benefit from state-of-the-art learning, teaching and research facilities, including well-equipped workshops, specialist laboratories, an audiovisual recording suite and a dedicated postgraduate computer laboratory. Members of staff have strong research links with universities in other countries and there is a flourishing international community. We work in partnership with a variety of public and private sector organisations to ensure our research is relevant to policymakers.

Unlike most other leading departments, we provide postgraduate training and continuing professional development (CPD) courses for clinical psychology and other psychological practitioners at the same site as our PhD and Masters degrees.

MSc Psychological Research Methods

"My favourite aspect of the programme is how research-centred it is. Lectures are given by researchers who are experts in the topics they are teaching and, as part of the research project component of the course, you have the opportunity to be part of the research team and conduct high-quality research of your own."

Lin

MSc Social and Organisational Psychology

"Social Psychology is my favourite part! I am looking forward to doing my research project on social psychology and being supervised by a great supervisor!"

Kandace

MSc Animal Behaviour

"I have found learning about Advances in Methods and Animal Behaviour the most interesting. I also did a professional development internship and helped Professor Darren Croft study whale aggression.

Studying Animal Behaviour has prepared me for further study as I have had the opportunity to gain a lot of hands-on experience."
