This course will give you a thorough grounding in the theories, methods and practice of environmental psychology. You’ll develop the skills and confidence you need to take on environmental psychology research in a professional setting. This course emphasises the application of psychology to real-world problems, and also considers issues related to professional practice in preparation for your career as a professional psychologist. Environmental psychology is a multidisciplinary research activity. We’re driven by psychological theories and methodologies, but draw on other social sciences, as well as the disciplines of environment and design. We investigate environment behaviour relationships at every scale, from personal space and office design, through to neighbourhood renewal, to the public understanding of global climate change. We have long-established links with national and international academic institutions, and you’ll be able to take advantage of these links in your research. When you join us you’ll become part of our Environmental Psychology Research Group (EPRG), which has an international reputation for fundamental and applied research built over 30 years. You’ll become involved in the research life of our School through active participation in our research groups, attending research seminars and, where possible, being attached to one of our ongoing research projects. As a student of the School of Psychology, you’ll also be able to attend a number of conferences, seminars and workshops hosted throughout the year.
