PhD/MPhil Psychology

The PhD Psychology research at Heriot-Watt University is grouped by three main themes: Work, Society and Environment; Lifespan Health and Wellbeing; Cognition, Brain and Behaviour. In addition to the research that has been funded by research councils, much of our research is carried out in collaboration with external bodies from the public and private sectors such as the NHS, the Scottish Executive, the Health and Safety Executive, and the Transport and Road Research Laboratory.
