The University of East Anglia has an established reputation for top quality research. At the heart of our innovative thinking is the principle of interdisciplinary working. Research within the new School of Psychology involves important links with Clinical Psychologists and other colleagues in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences. These links will be further developed as we move towards the creation of the new joint research centre, with the appointment of a Centre Director in the near future to lead this development.

There are also well-established research collaborations with colleagues in other disciplines and Schools within the Faculty of Social Sciences. The School of Psychology co-hosts UEA's Centre for Research on the Child and Family (with the School of Social Work). It is an interdisciplinary centre with strong collaborations with Norwich Business School, Economics and the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences. Psychologists also form a part of the faculty-wide Centre for Behavioural and Experimental Social Science (with colleagues in Economics, International Development, and other social sciences).

Psychologists within the School have strengths across a range of areas of psychology including language and cognitive processes; perception (vision and action); decision-making and behavioural economics; substance misuse; cognition and emotion; psychophysiology and neuroscience; social psychology; personality and individual differences; psychosocial and developmental perspectives on children, families, relationships and parenting; and reproductive technologies.
