Professor Robin Murphy

Professor Robin Murphy was awarded the Major Educator Award (funded). This award celebrates individuals who make an outstanding contribution to the development of education and/or leadership in education and/or other educational initiatives, within the Medical Sciences Division or at institutional level.

He receives the award for his contribution and leadership of the introduction of two new integrated Masters degrees in Experimental Psychology.  

Robin is clear, personable, engaging and always happy to answer questions. I cannot express how much I am enjoying this option and really feel like I have not only clear guidance from him but also that I could go to him if I needed help with anything.
