School of Psychology

The majority of staff in the School belong to at least one of three formally-constituted research centres:

• Much of our social psychology research is coordinated through the Centre for the Study of Group Processes (CSGP).
• Staff whose research interests lie primarily in cognition coordinate much of their research through the Centre for Cognitive Neuroscience and Cognitive Systems (CCNCS), actively collaborating with members of the School of Computing's Computational Intelligence Group.
• Forensic Psychology research at Kent operates through the Centre of Research and Education in Forensic Psychology (CORE-FP).

Employment statistics:

• 12,000 people graduate with a Psychology degree each year in the UK and have great employment prospects.
• Six months after graduating from Kent, 90% of our 2011 Psychology graduates were either working or in further study, 71% of them in professional or managerial jobs(Unistats).
• Kent was ranked joint 3rd in the UK for Psychology graduates’ employment prospects in the Guardian University Guide 2014.
