Overview

Introduction

Introduction

Here at LSE, we conduct psychological and behavioural science research on pressing social issues related to organisations, developing countries and public policy. As a research student, you’ll have the opportunity to contribute original research to the field of psychological and behavioural science. Our wide-ranging research strengths encompass social psychology, health and communities, organisational psychology, evolutionary psychology, communication, and behavioural science.

Students participate in fieldwork in many settings, including experimental laboratories and organisations both in and outside the UK. You’ll be encouraged to present your research at LSE, national and international conferences and publish your findings in international journals.

Part-time research, teaching and editorial roles are often available, giving you valuable experience and publication opportunities.
