Not Just Any Psychology Department
Bangor Psychology was established in 1963 making it amongst the oldest in the UK. Our ethos is set around the belief that every one of you has the potential to change the world. Our curricula are driven by our world-leading research much of which is having real-world impact on society, healthcare, education, sport, the military, and government. We make a real-world difference.
When you join us, you are contributing to changing society for the better.
The Bangor Psychology Experience
Led by award-winning lecturers, we have a truly international staff body. No matter where you come from, we look forward to welcoming you. We believe support should be available when you need it, not just when it's convenient so every student in the school is assigned a personal tutor, and our emergency drop-in provision means you can always access support when needed.
Embedded within our degrees are the skills and knowledge to help you achieve your goals. We host sector-leading oral presentation schemes and support your studies with statistics and academic writing skills training.
Our passion for Psychology is reflected in the very high levels of student satisfaction that we see in the National Student Survey.
Enabling the Extraordinary with Postgraduate Study
At Bangor we like to think that we enable the extraordinary that our students bring to us. We offer a range of programmes at Bangor that combine variety, quality and learning experience not available elsewhere. Even if you don’t have a psychology background we offer a Psychology MA and other applied psychology master’s degrees.
If you want to pursue a psychology PhD, our Psychological Research MSc is recognised by the Economic and Social Research Council as providing you with the transferable skills essential to social science research. Studying at Bangor Psychology, you will be part of a PhD community of over 50 people. As a PhD student your work will make a difference and have real impact.
World-leading Psychology Research and Facilities
Psychology is not afraid to tackle the big issues facing humankind. Our world-leading research spans cognitive neuroscience, clinical interventions, psychological wellbeing, elite performance, physical activity, health and applied human physiology, and has significant real-world impact. 86% of research output is recognised as either world leading or internationally excellent (REF 2021).
In addition to dedicated individual laboratories, our department has access to state-of-the art open-access research facilities and services including an MRI scanner, TMS Labs, EEG facilities and a human brain anatomy laboratory.
A Special Place to Study
