About us

When you choose to study psychology at Hull, you’ll be in safe hands. We’ve been teaching since 1928, making us one of the oldest departments in the UK.

Don’t just take our word for it. All of our courses are accredited by the British Psychological Society and our department achieved 91% satisfaction for full-time students in the last National Student Survey.

Our research is also in high regard, with 95% of our output rated of international standard in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise.

We are based in two newly refurbished buildings which offer state-of-the-art facilities. These include laboratories for psychophysiology, neuropsychology, perception and motor skills, as well as a child observation suite, psychological test library and several networked computer suites.

Our undergraduate and postgraduate programmes combine traditional scientific psychology with a focus on applying knowledge to real-world issues.

We welcome around 250 undergraduate and 30 postgraduate students to our department each year. Our students are well supported by our academic team of 32 lecturers, 5 teaching fellows and several graduate teaching assistants.
