Psychology
In Psychology at University of Westminster we have a high reputation for our teaching and for our research and we believe strongly in maintaining close links between the two. Students are taught by active researchers who are passionate about sharing their enthusiasm for their subject area with their students. As evidence of our successful and innovative teaching and support for students' learning we can point to six of our staff having won awards for their teaching and of these, three having won prestigious national awards.
The Department of Psychology is based in the University's flagship Regent Street building in the heart of London. We offer three undergraduate degrees, a single honours BSc (Hons) Psychology degree, BSc (Hons) Psychology with Neuroscience, and BSc (Hons) Cognitive Science. We also provide a conversion course for graduates with degrees other than Psychology: the Graduate Diploma in Psychology. All of these courses have accreditation by the British Psychological Society for the Graduate Basis for Chartership. At Postgraduate level we offer: MSc Applied Cognitive Neuroscience, MSc Psychological Research Methods, MSc Business Psychology and MSc Health Psychology. We also provide supervision for MPhil and PhD degrees.
In the Department we have a vibrant culture of research which is distinctive for its openness, collaboration and interdisciplinarity. We value and promote the inter-relationship of research, enterprise, knowledge transfer and teaching activity. Research in the Department is diverse, spanning the full arrange of the discipline. It falls into 6 main areas:
Business Psychology, Cognitive Neuroscience, Health Psychology, Psychobiology/Psychophysiology, Psychology in Higher Education and Social Psychology. In the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise, the Department was commended for our strengths in the area of psychobiology.
