Outreach Activities 

We believe psychology is both an exciting and a challenging discipline. Not everyone has knowledge or experience of psychology before they come to university, so we offer a range of activities with local schools and colleges to share both our knowledge and enthusiasm for the subject. We are committed to widening participation in Higher Education, and are actively involved in a number of schemes aimed at raising aspirations and attainment for those in secondary and further education.

Activities

Description
