Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience
Understanding human behaviour starts with the brain: without it, we can’t unlock the biggest mysteries of our society.
We offer courses in psychology and cognitive neuroscience designed to open the door to a deeper understanding of the human mind.
Our courses integrate the foundations of psychology with developmental, educational, social, and cognitive neuroscience, exploring from a cellular level through to complex systems and behaviour.
Through a cognitive neuroscience degree, you’ll have the opportunity to learn about neuroanatomy, neurophysiology and neuroimaging techniques and how they are used in clinical and research settings.

What does the ‘common good’ actually mean? Our research found common ground across the political divide
Some topics are hard to define. They are nebulous; their meanings are elusive. Topics relating to morality fit this description.
