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.
The OSU Department of Psychology aims to produce exceptional, innovative research to advance knowledge about mind, brain, and behavior, with the goal of understanding and improving the human condition. We create, synthesize, and translate knowledge about behavioral, psychological, and brain processes to provide a foundation for educating our students and the public. We train undergraduate, graduate, and post-doctoral scholars to become 21st-century psychological scientists able to evaluate, apply, and create knowledge. We value diversity and inclusion of persons, perspectives, and approaches because it enriches our work and fosters a supportive and intellectually stimulating department community.
The School of Psychology at the University of Leeds has an international reputation for research expertise, addressing key psychological issues like healthy living, childhood development, aging, and memory. Collaborating globally, the school impacts society through world-class facilities and leading research staff.
Psychology is the study of the mind. At Rutgers, we study psychology from different perspectives, including behavioral and systems neuroscience, clinical, cognitive, and social psychology. The mission of the Psychology Department faculty is to combine excellence in scientific research with excellence in teaching our graduate and undergraduate students.
