Why study Experimental Psychology at Bristol?

The School of Experimental Psychology and the University of Bristol are part of the Russell Group of universities. The Russell Group represents the 20 leading UK universities which are committed to maintaining the very best research, an outstanding teaching and learning experience and unrivalled links with business and the public sector.

Five reasons to study at Bristol

1. Fun. We work with ideas, people and techniques that we enjoy. Simply put, we want to find students who will share a sense of fun and adventure in our science.
2. Expertise and knowledge. If Rome wasn’t built in a day, neither is quality science. Staff are diverse in backgrounds and experience, but united in their meticulous, astute and inspired approach to scientific enquiry.
3. Excellent teaching. A collegiate, interactive and friendly atmosphere, with small staff-student ratios, is the perfect environment to share our aptitude and passion for psychological science.
4. Word-class research. We are a top-ranked research school in the Faculty of Science that means we deliver our current research at the highest national and international levels, with a long-tradition of supporting some of the most brilliant minds in psychological research.
5. Quality of Life. Bristol has a vibrant, active and stimulating arts and cultural scene; from late-night hip-hop, to afternoon theatre, to lunch-time classical concerts; there is much to entertain. As a historical gateway to South-west England, mountain-walking in Wales, surfing in Cornwall, and festivals in Somerset are within easy distance: no wonder we love living here.
