Up to 3 lectureships are available to candidates with interests overlap 
with one of the School’s broadly defined research areas:

Social and Health Psychology;
Behavioural Neuroscience;
Cognitive Psychology.

The School gained a 5*(A) RAE rating in 2001 and achieved a TQA assessment 
of ‘Excellent’. We expect candidates to demonstrate a record or potential 
of publishing in high-impact journals, and a track record or potential for 
gaining external funding. The size of the School, together with its 
unparalleled resourcing, means that teaching and administrative duties are 
not heavy.  Cardiff University justifiably claims its teaching is 
research-led and the School of Psychology reflects this philosophy.

Hospitals, mental Health services and prisons.

As with research, the School attained the highest rating of ‘Excellent’ for 
its teaching from the HEFCW Teaching Quality Assessment Panel.  Each year 
it admits around 200 FTE students to single honours degrees in either 
Psychology or Applied Psychology; and to joint honours degrees with 
Physiology, Education and Criminology.  In addition it offers introductory 
modules to first year students not proceeding in Psychology and courses on 
Behavioural Science to medical students.  The School also delivers courses 
to students on the Neuroscience and Education degrees.  At postgraduate 
level the School runs two MSc courses (Occupational Psychology with 20 
students, Education Psychology with 10 students), and with the South Wales
