Research Groups

School of Arts & Humanities

The School of Arts and Humanities hosts a variety of dynamic research groups and centres that showcase the breadth and interdisciplinarity of our research. These centres and groups reflect both the established research strengths in the School and our commitment to engaging with new and developing research areas in the Arts and Humanities.

School of Psychology & Counselling

The School of Psychology & Counselling hosts its research activities under the Open Psychology Research Centre. The Centre promotes an open psychology that crosses disciplinary boundaries, is relevant to real social and personal issues, and acknowledges the degree to which human psychology is shaped by history. It seeks to understand, transform and enrich the lives of individuals and communities by means of engaged research collaborations which embrace many perspectives. Psychological research within the Centre is organised into three interconnected strands: Culture and Social Psychology (CuSP), Forensic Cognition (FCRG) and the Psychology of Health and Wellbeing (PHeW).
