PSYCHOLOGY | 5 Why Study Psychology? Our British Psychological Society accredited courses will enable you to explore the mind, brain and behaviour and understand how and why people think, feel, communicate and act. Studying for a degree in Psychology at Keele you’ll be challenged by exciting ideas and findings from a wide range of areas of the subject including developmental psychology, psychobiology, social psychology, cognitive neuropsychology and a variety of contemporary applied topics. Our courses are informed by the cutting-edge research of our staff and are designed to develop your own critical thinking and research skills. Whether studying the psychological impact of pain, measuring the effects of advertising through eye-tracking, the causes of crime and victimisation or the negotiation of power and authority in interaction, you’ll benefit from our supportive environment as well as our fantastic lab facilities and equipment. Our academic staff are not only excellent teachers but also leading researchers, taking an active role in pushing forward the boundaries of psychological knowledge. Our students get to share in the excitement of discovery in classes and during final year project research supervision meetings. Students can also volunteer with staff on research projects as part of the Psychology Research Experience scheme. keele.ac.uk/psychology RESEARCH-LED TEACHING BY AWARD WINNING ACADEMIC STAFF keele.ac.uk/psychology
