Psychology

Clarity helps us to understand our users’ behaviour by visually representing their clicks, taps and scrolling. All data is anonymised. Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behaviour.

It is about understanding how people think, act, react and interact; and how this understanding can help us, as psychologists, help people on an individual basis but also help address wider societal issues through academic endeavours and professional practice. Psychology at the University of Glasgow is ranked in the top 50 in the Times Higher Education World Rankings. We are committed to research-led teaching providing the opportunity for students to be taught by leaders in the field of discipline specific and educational research.

We are sector leading in the support we provide for our students in employability and skills relevant to a rapidly evolving employment market. We bring together expertise in experimental psychology, cognitive science and cognitive neuroscience in order to advance the understanding of human and animal behaviour.
