Postgraduates

The Research Board is keen to ensure support for postgraduate research students in Psychology. This is achieved through a number of ways:

- Award and Grant schemes (including the Postgraduate Study Visits scheme and the Joint Award with the Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology)

- Postgraduate representation on the Board and its Standing Committees and Steering Groups

- Support for the Psychology Postgraduate Affairs Group (PsyPAG). The Board provides an annual grant to the Group to support its activities in supporting all postgraduates in Psychology.
