The University of Auckland School of Psychology

Te Kura Mātai Hinengaro (Department of Psychology) at the University of Auckland offers high-quality teaching and research across a range of psychology subjects, fostering a diverse and inclusive learning environment.We offer teaching and research supervision that explores questions ranging from child development to forming lasting relationships, culture and identity to how the brain works, and from maintaining positive mental health to the building blocks of behaviour. We love what we do, and the ability of our discipline to explore questions that have always fascinated people. Who are we? How can we live well together? How did we evolve? What is the role of culture and language in the human experience? Alongside research exploring similar questions to those featured in psychology departments worldwide, we have a thriving Māori and Pacific Psychology research group and Tuākana programme, which seeks to create an inclusive and dynamic space for Māori and Pacific students.
