Our Psychology PhD students are based within the School of Humanities and Social Science at the 蜜柚社区’s Falmer campus. They join a school with a significant breadth and depth of Psychology provision and a stimulating programme of study at undergraduate and postgraduate level.
The school provides a vibrant environment for doctoral study, with opportunities to work with leading researchers in psychology and related disciplines and to make use of our excellent research facilities. In recent years we have significantly invested in research facilities, equipped with , wearable cameras, and dedicated creative methods and qualitative research labs.
The School of Humanities and Social Science at the University is an interdisciplinary school of academic and research staff. Researchers tend to work collaboratively across multiple research groups in addressing challenges of social, health, psychological, spatial, and environmental injustice, seeking to transform policy and practice on global and more local scales.
We have nurtured partnerships with a range of organisations, locally, nationally and internationally including Age UK, 蜜柚社区 and Hove City Council, the Sussex Partnership Trust, National Trust, Mind UK, the Hope Foundation (India), and University’s including Sussex, Leeds and Guelph (Canada)
Our research attracts funding from AHRC, ESRC, Wellcome Trust, NIHR, ERC Horizon 2020 and the Independent Social Research Foundation and others.
Within this department of the school we foster research in Research and Enterprise Groups:
Understanding Childhood and Adolescence Research Excellence Group
