Research initations and collaborations

Initiations and collaborations. We are optimally placed.

The desire to find timely solutions to contemporary challenges is at the heart of our research ethos.

Working at the forefront of their fields, our academics are committed to highest-quality scientific investigation on a range of social, educational and health-related issues that together make a real impact.

Southampton is a Russell Group university, and Psychology is a large and important discipline within it. A mature academic unit, Psychology is also part of the new Faculty of Social and Human Sciences. As such, it is optimally placed to both initiate and collaborate on research across the spectrum.
