Uppsala University's Department of Psychology is part of a comprehensive research university founded in 1477, consistently ranked among the world's best, with a current student population of 50,000 and a strong research community of nearly 5,000.
In the Department of Psychology we focus on the investigation of behavior and its cognitive, neural and hormonal underpinnings in the full range of environmental situations. Our strengths lie in four broadly defined areas of development, cognition, neuroscience, and social and personality psychology. We develop and conduct theoretical and translational research to advance health and well-being.
The School of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of St Andrews promotes a friendly atmosphere with a thriving community of research staff and postgraduate students, actively engaging with local schools and organizations.
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.
