Working across disciplinary boundaries is one of our core strengths. Our teams collaborate on projects translating theory into practical impact — from developing innovative interventions and health-promoting environments to advancing our understanding of ageing, sleep, neurological conditions, and mental health.

Students and researchers benefit from access to a rich ecosystem of cutting-edge facilities, including neuroscience, cognition, exercise, speech, sleep, and VR labs.

These spaces support world-leading research, cross-disciplinary student projects, and partnerships with industry, the NHS and community organisations. Our labs also play a key role in developing highly employable graduates by providing hands-on experience with advanced technologies and research methods.

Our research tackles real-world challenges - from speech disorders and ageing to mental health, physical activity, trauma, and health behaviour change. Our academic researchers translate theory and use technology when working closely with partners across health, education, government and industry to ensure our work delivers to meaningful impact.

We deliver high-quality education that reflects the breadth and depth of our department, providing an international outlook and delivering strong student satisfaction.

Teaching is informed by the latest research, innovative assessment approaches (including GenAI-aware pedagogy), placement opportunities to embed learning and a commitment to inclusive, supportive learning and student wellbeing.

Our department fosters a supportive and internationally engaged environment. Students value our approachable staff, strong research culture, diverse learning community, and the breadth of opportunities to develop professionally.

We are expanding our Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and micro-credentials to meet growing demand for flexible, career-enhancing training in areas such as CBT, counselling skills, behaviour change, sleep, and neuropsychology - offering new avenues for collaboration and industry engagement.
