The School of Psychology at the University of Kent makes significant contributions to local communities through volunteering, research, and public service, while enhancing the experience of staff and students through international links.
Faculty in the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at Boston College synergistically blend behavioral neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience, and psychological science approaches to address questions at the core of the human experience. As psychologists and neuroscientists, we seek to understand basic functions such as memory, emotion, visual perception, social interaction, development and learning, and problem solving and creativity, and to shed light on how these functions are altered in psychopathology, developmental disorders, or neurological disorders. Faculty in our department approach these topics from multiple, converging levels, using assessments of individual behavior, dynamic group interactions, and investigations of the neural processes and computations that give rise to behavior.
Located in the heart of Los Angeles, the University of Southern California Department of Psychology has among its faculty internationally recognized scholars and one of the most diverse student populations in the United States. Our faculty and students are engaged in groundbreaking studies, investigating basic theoretical questions and bringing their work to bear on some of society's most pressing needs. The department offers graduate training in five areas: Brain & Cognitive Science, Clinical Science, Developmental Psychology, Quantitative Methods and Computational Psychology, and Social Psychology.
Psychological science is traditionally defined as the study of behavior; neuroscience as the study of the nervous system. As a Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences we are focused on understanding mind and behavior in terms of underlying psychological processes that have their genesis in neural activity in the brain.
