Psychology

About Us:

The Psychology Society is a student-run society for anyone interested in psychology. We welcome anyone and everyone with a sense of curiosity towards human behaviour!

Our meetings run on Mondays at 6:00pm (18:00) in C3.A94, although this may be subject to change so keep an eye on our Instagram for any updates. We aim to build a sense of community for Stirling psychology students and anyone who shares an interest in the diverse and ever-evolving field of psychology by offering a space to support each other through the upcoming years. We hope to offer support to students by working with the university to host events that will guide you through your studies as well as host discussions and mini-lectures for anyone interested in learning more from our wonderful staff and fellow students. We are also excited to host various socials in person this year in which you can get to know our wonderful members!

Membership is £5 for the whole academic year - an absolute bargain for what you'll get out of it.
