The School of Psychology & Neuroscience at St Andrews has an international reputation for the quality of its teaching and research and has some of the best psychological laboratory facilities in the UK. The breadth and variety of psychology and neuroscience taught in the School is a particular strength, with significant opportunities to collaborate and benefit from a range of techniques applied to understanding the behaviour of humans and other animals. The School has consistently been ranked one of the best research departments in the UK. For instance, the School was ranked seventh out of 76 UK psychology departments in the last Research Assessment Exercise (RAE 2008), and 100% of our outputs were rated at ‘international' level.
