“My undergraduate Psychology degree is from the Open University and, before that, I had careers in both business and the Armed Forces. The School of Psychology at St Andrews was my first and only choice for a PhD because of the reputation of its staff and research facilities. I am now in the third year of my doctoral research in Applied, Clinical and Health Psychology. I feel very fortunate to be studying under the supervision of world-class academics in such a beautiful environment.”

Facilities include laboratories in neurophysiology, psychopharmacology, psychophysics, animal learning and cognition, cognitive psychology, developmental psychology and social psychology.We have extensive computing facilities for both online control of experiments and off-line analysis of data.


The School’s size promotes a friendly atmosphere with a cross-flowof ideas while providing the depth and breadth necessary to pursue major scientific programmes at an international level.We have active links with other Schools and Departments within the University, with other Scottish universities and with research institutions outside the UK.

There is also an active collaboration in neuroscience with Emory University’s Neural and Behavioral Biology program (www.nbb.emory.edu).We offer excellent opportunities for fieldwork ranging from primate ethology in Africa and hummingbird cognition in the RockyMountains, Canada to observations in zoos throughout the UK. For clinical, neuropsychological, and developmental research,we have excellentworking relationships with a number of hospitals and schools.
