Psychology is concerned with understanding human nature and investigating the processes underpinning the thoughts, feelings and motivations behind our actions.
Come along and visit the department, see what facilities we have, and speak to our staff. We will be offering tours of the different lab spaces (sign up on the day) and an opportunity to see the teaching spaces you will be learning in if you choose to come to Durham. You’ll also hear more on the process from here, have an introduction from the Head of Department, and experience a couple of mini lectures to get a feel for the learning style.
There are four opportunities for offer-holders to visit the Department of Psychology, on either the morning or afternoon of the following dates:
Experience a tour of the department’s research and teaching facilities, and chat with some of our staff and students.
Join us in lecture theatre L50, where you’ll receive a welcome talk from our head of department, experience mini lectures, and hear from our students. You will also have an opportunity to ask questions.
Durham helped prepare me: by expanding my knowledge base of a subject I love, allowing me to go on to further study and gain qualifications which will help me in my career. Through my experiences at Durham I also met some lovely people, who are now good friends, and developed my independence and skills, such as: communication, leadership, time-management, organisation and empathy.
Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate guests of offer-holders during our offer-holder taster events in the Psychology department.
We encourage guests of offer-holders to take the opportunity to see some of the facilities that Durham University has to offer, such as the Bill Bryson Library and Sports and Wellbeing Park. Guests of offer-holders may also wish to visit some of the public attractions that are close by, such as the Botanic Gardens, Durham Castle and Cathedral, and Oriental Museum. There are also plenty of woodland and river paths to walk and explore the surroundings of the department.
Guests of offer-holders are also welcome to drop-in to speak to central services during the event at the Palatine Centre and the Information Hub and to attend the information sessions we have scheduled for Guests in the Teaching and Learning Centre.
For an idea of where each of these things are, visit this map.
If you were unable to attend any of our previous open day events for applicants, a recording of our Undergraduate Insights webinar is available to watch online.
