Welcome to the School of Psychology
The School of Psychology is one of the largest in the University and is also, we believe, one of the very best.
Organised by the Faculty of Science, this four-lecture series addresses some of the barriers to inclusion, participation and success of diverse groups within, and beyond, education and employment.
We would like to congratulate all students who graduated in our Spring ceremony. We hope you enjoyed sharing this special event with family and friends and wish you the best for your future endeavours.
We’re much more than just New Zealand’s top ranked science faculty. We are a diverse collaborative community, full of budding scientists ready to help you discover your passion and what makes you tick.
We lead psychological science, scholarship and practice and most of our academic staff have impressive international research reputations, and several are recognised among the world leaders in their fields. Our teaching is very highly regarded, and we have several winners of Distinguished Teaching Awards on our staff. We see a strong link between research and teaching as the unique advantage that studying at a major international university offers.
