Psychological and Behavioural Sciences

PBS at Trinity Hall

Students at Trinity Hall studying PBS are taught under the supervision of Lee de-Wit, who originally trained in neuroscience, but now works on the psychology of political behaviour. Lee also works on generally on the application of psychological research to public policy, and you can read more about his recent work in Trends in Cognitive Sciences. Lee is also the Director of Undergraduate Education in the Department of Psychology, where he recently received the Pilkington Prize for Teaching Excellent for his role in curriculum diversification and innovation in assessment methods.

At Trinity Hall we are looking for PBS students who will make the most of the opportunities provided by the breadth of teaching on Psychological and Behavioural Sciences, from understanding the neuroscience of face perception, to understanding the social psychology of behaviour change. We are particularly looking for students who want to expand their skills across the psychological sciences, from statistical analysis, essay writing, to conducting empirical research projects.
