Lecture and tutorial spaces

Lectures take place across the University campus, close to the accommodation and Students' Union. Lectures are recorded, allowing you to return to them later when completing assignments or preparing for exams.

You'll have small group teaching sessions in our seminar rooms in ICOSS (our school building), so you can look at problems more closely. There are also bookable meeting rooms where you can work on group projects with other students.

Practical teaching facilities

We have a suite of testing cubicles where students can use computer stimulus presentation software to run experiments as part of their own mini projects.

In workshops, you'll be trained to use the industry standard statistical analysis software SPSS, and you can get an introduction to computational modelling tools and the programming language Python.

Research facilities

You'll have access to a range of tools for testing participants in your third year research project.

This includes eye-tracking technology used in perception studies, TMS and TDCS equipment for experiments involving brain stimulation, and our state-of-the-art EEG suite for measuring brain activity.

Independent study spaces

Bookable computers are available in the school.

There are also 1,600 computers available through the University's library services, including at The Diamond and the Information Commons which are open to all students 24/7.
