The Department of Psychology at the University of Bradford
Nearing its 20th anniversary, The Department of Psychology is a key player in the University of Bradford’s vision for a world of inclusion and equality of opportunity where people want to, and can, make a difference. Underpinned by a range of modern psychology laboratories and equipment, our suite of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes are informed by theories of self-determined learning, such as Team Based Learning, to ensure they are socially inclusive. Furthermore, the Department of Psychology has local and global research collaborations, such as with the Wolfson Centre for Applied Research, that means it is a vibrant contributor to the University of Bradford’s research strengths in Health and Care, the Engineered Environment and Sustainable Societies.
