Welcome to the Department of Psychology

Psychology is the study of the mind and behaviour. Here at Liverpool Hope you will learn about and have the opportunity to research such diverse topics as, for example: why people might engage in criminal activity; how children learn to read; what functions of the brain are impacted upon when someone sustains a serious injury to the front of their head; or when would the most suitable time be to intervene in a conflict. You will study of Psychology within a vibrant, dynamic and friendly academic community. The Psychology lecturers are enthusiastic, knowledgeable and active researchers who have a commitment to using both traditional and innovative teaching methods.
