Overview

Completing this Psychology programme at the University of Huddersfield is centred in the Brain, Behaviour and Cognition (BBC) research group, which brings together work spanning health and wellbeing, cognitive science and neuroscience, and forensic and investigative psychology in an interdisciplinary community exploring how people think, feel, learn and act.

What is involved in a PhD?

You’ll join an interdisciplinary and applied research environment where research is both intellectually ambitious and socially meaningful as it connects psychological science to real-world challenges in health, education, safety and justice.
Our work spans preventive health behaviours, vaccine hesitancy, decision-making, addiction, language and literacy development, bilingualism, mathematical cognition, AI-assisted diagnosis, and forensic and investigative psychology.
