Members of the Department of Psychology conduct world-leading research in infancy and early development, language and literacy, perception and action, and social processes.

Since 2009, we have completed projects with over 30 organisations from the public, private and charity sectors, which vary in size from FTSE100 international corporations to local SMEs. We demonstrate our expertise through contributions to several of the Interdisciplinary Centres at Lancaster University:

• Security Lancaster
• Centre for Ageing Research
• ESRC Centre for Corpus Approaches to Social Science (CASS)
