Research

Research is in integral part of the life of the School of Psychology. All staff are engaged in research, spanning a wide range of topics. The School of Psychology has six areas of research concentration: Clinical, Cognitive, Counselling, Developmental, Social, and Work and Organizational. A number of staff and students collaborate across these areas, and their work is detailed on the research pages for each group.

Staff have been successful competing for research support from national, state, and industry sources. Research grants from varied sources provide funding for some of the ongoing research projects in the school.

Staff in the School also have close links with two of the University’s Areas of Research strength;
Social Change and Social Equity (SCASE) and Interactive Media

Research by students is a vital component of the School’s research endeavours. Students engage in research in all our courses: undergraduate students conduct research projects in their fourth-year, honours students spend half of their year’s study on a research project, Masters and DPsych students conduct a significant research project of relevance to their professional training; and PhD students spend 3-4 years solely engaged in cutting-edge research.
