It’s been great to host 78 psychology students and 13 staff from across the partnership at our campus this week for their annual residential. The psychology residential is a crucial, mandatory event for BSc Psychology students in first to third year and MSc Psychology students.
It’s a great opportunity to bridge the gap between theory and practice, with intensive labs, seminars and collaborative workshops, all linked to modules and academic skills development.
Thank you to everyone who participated. Looking forward to doing it all again next year!
