Outreach

The School of Psychology runs activities for primary, secondary and further education students both on-campus and during visits to schools and colleges. Through our activities we aim to stimulate interest in the the subject and raise the aspirations of groups who are under-represented in higher education.

Sixth formers have recently had an opportunity to experience university-style teaching alongside current undergraduates, as well as providing valuable additional knowledge to contribute to their A Level psychology studies. These lecture topics include Attachment & Emotional Development and Psychopathology.

The school also participates in the University's Aim Higher and Gifted & Talented programmes.

Volunteer

The school is regularly looking for volunteers to take part in paid or unpaid psychological studies. Volunteers could be asked to do a range of things if they take part. Most of the studies will require a visit to campus and occasionally will be asked to complete the studies online. Volunteers can participate in our studies by registering here.

Community University Engagement

UEA has a small dedicated Community University Engagement team, Julie Worrall and Ruth Selwyn-Crome, who are on hand to advise staff and students about different aspects of their engagement activity including ideas, planning, evaluation and impact. Financial and practical assistance is also available via a Small Expenses Fund and the loan of equipment such as audio recorders. You can find more information and case studies on the Community University Engagement website.
