Research

Athena Swan Bronze Award (2012)

Research in the department is organised into four broad research groupings which provide critical mass in core areas of psychology, but there is high interactivity across groups and also between members of the department and researchers in other departments, faculties or divisions with associated interests (from Clinical Neuroscience and Psychiatry through to Social Sciences and the Humanities Divisions of the University of Oxford).  Research projects in the department are highly interdisciplinary and cover the full range of psychology from basic to applied, translational work.
