The University has reciprocal arrangements with various libraries in the Greater London area and, through a student membership arrangement, our students also have access to the library of the British Psychological Society at Senate House, in Central London. The department has a good range of equipment, with a rolling programme to improve its quality and quantity. Additionally, there is access to an animal house and histological facilities. Psychology students have access to six IT laboratories containing almost 70 PCs. Each PC is connected to the university network, and can be used to access a wide range of software, which includes most MS Office packages, WordPerfect, spreadsheet, database and statistical packages, as well as access to email and the internet.
All students have log-in codes and access to space on the mainframe.
Computing facilities within the department are open from 8.30 a.m. to 9.00 p.m. and are provided with technical support. Each member of staff and postgraduate research student has their own computer, all connected to the university network and to the Internet. The department is situated in purpose-built accommodation, each member of staff having their own office with sufficient space to hold small group tutorials in a relaxed environment. We are also one of the few psychology departments to have a laboratory complex, comprising a demonstration area and research cubicles attached to a computer laboratory. Lecture theatres, teaching and seminar rooms are provided from the university pool.
