Location of University of Bristol
Studying in the Department of Experimental Psychology will give you the opportunity to be part of a vibrant postgraduate community and a world-class department. Our postgraduate students are a very important part of the departmental research culture and are a key component in our ability to maintain our international research reputation. Students can be registered part- or full-time. The best way to secure a place on our postgraduate programmes is to make informal contact with the member of academic staff whose research you are interested in.

Research Groups
Research activity in the department is organised into two research themes: Cognition and Biological Psychology. Within each theme, there are a set of focused research groups. An important feature of this research structure is the extent of collaboration across research groups and across the two themes. All groups address fundamental questions as well as looking at the impact of their work more broadly in industry, healthcare, education and society. Across these thematic research groups the department has particular and growing strengths in Computational Neuroscience and Neuropsychology.
Cognition
Focused research groups in Cognition are:
* Developmental (includes the Bristol Cognitive Development Centre, and Bristol Autism Research Group)
* Language (includes speech comprehension, speech production, reading and dyslexia, language and thought)
* Social Cognition (the subfield of social psychology that studies the mental representations and processes underlying social perception, social judgment, social influence)
* Memory
Biological Psychology
Focused research groups in Biological Psychology are:
* Human Brain and Behaviour (special areas of interest include nutrition and behaviour; EEG and fMRI studies of brain activity; molecular genetics; brain mechanisms of perception and memory; psychopharamacology of addiction; cerebral bases of gesture and communication).
* Vision (fusing cognitive science and information technology to tackle research problems that cannot be comprehensively addressed by the single disciplines alone).
