Welcome
Psychology is one of the longest established academic disciplines at Keele University. We appointed our first Professor (Ian M.L. Hunter) over 50 years ago and since then we have graduated thousands of students in Psychology. Today we offer one of the most popular undergraduate degree subjects in the university. Currently we have about 600 undergraduate students studying for a dual honours degree in either Psychology or Applied Psychology combined with one of 30 other subjects.
All dual honours degree combinations with Psychology are accredited by the British Psychological Society as conferring eligibility for the Graduate Basis for Chartership (GBC), provided the minimum standard of qualification of second class honours is achieved. This is the first step towards becoming a Chartered Psychologist.
In addition to undergraduate psychology degrees we also offer a growing range of courses at certificate, masters and doctorate level. In Psychology we offer taught masters degrees in Psychological Research with specialisms in Clinical Psychological Research, Social Development, and Psychology of Health and Wellbeing. . In counselling we offer courses at certificate and at masters level. Our Counselling programmes are fully accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
There are approximately 20 full-time academic staff in the school all of whom are actively involved in a wide range of research activities. Details of their researchwork can be found elsewhere on this website.
Within the School we are constantly improving our facilities and services. We have new computer labs and a new Learning Resource Centre.
If you are interested in finding out more about our teaching or our research we would be delighted to hear from you.
