Psychology and Neuroscience Club

Through engaging sessions, students explore a wide range of topics, including memory and learning, attention and perception, sleep and cognition, cognitive biases, decision-making, habits, emotions, stress, and social behaviour. Sessions combine scientific concepts and research with questions, demonstrations, discussions, and activities that allow students to experience psychology, not only learn about it. Members also take their learning beyond meetings through research projects, independent topic exploration, creative challenges, and opportunities to present to others. No previous experience in psychology or neuroscience is required. Whether you are fascinated by the brain, interested in human behaviour, considering a future in science or medicine, or just curious about why people think and act the way they do, the club provides an environment to explore, ask questions, and discover something new!
