Your life in the School
I mainly chose to come to ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍø as it's one of the few universities to offer a joint degree in philosophy and psychology. I also chose ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍø due to the good reputation of the teaching staff, the University's proximity to London and the beautiful campus.

Our facilities
We have invested in state-of-the-art research facilities, including multiple brain imaging systems. We are unique in housing four clinical research facilities on site.
We house a number of highly regarded research centres. We also work closely with our partners in the NHS to support an on-site anxiety clinic, and run an independent centre for autism as well as a speech and language therapy clinic.
Psychology facilities
You will be working with leading researchers. Many of our students work with groups using the latest technologies and methods. Our range of facilities is extensive and includes:
- cognitive and clinical assessments
- eye-tracking
- neuro-methods e.g. TMS, brain imaging by EEG
- specialised units such as the baby and infant laboratories
- virtual reality.
Specialist speech and language therapy facilities
Speech and language therapy undergraduate students can make use of our:
- in-house speech and language therapy clinic
- observational facilities
- speech research laboratory
- assessment and resources room.
ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍø is the only university with a purpose-built NHS-recognised clinic on site. This is a huge advantage for students in terms of observation and placements.
