PhD Psychology
Heriot-Watt University’s mission is to create and exchange knowledge that benefits society, and in keeping with this, our psychology research examines and offers solutions for many different global challenges.
The PhD Psychology is a 36-month full-time research degree conducted under the supervision of a faculty member culminating with submission of a research thesis.
Our research can help diagnose and support people with mental health conditions and improve cognitive and psychological health and wellbeing across the life course.
For example, it can help us understand how learners of different ages and with different levels of ability can be better supported, and show us how coaching, training and engagement can enhance performance, productivity or wellbeing.
Research in psychology at Heriot-Watt University is grouped by three main themes:
- Cognition, brain and behaviour
- Lifespan health and wellbeing
- Work, society and environment.
