Welcome to the Psychology Society!

All students welcome! Whether you have an interest in Psychology, Criminology, Forensics, or any other Social Science please join us by signing up to Bournemouth University’s highest rated academic society. A chance to boost your CV & network, connect with your course mates, and meet new people interested in Psychology - with free drinks and snacks provided at our events!

 

Our Events

  • Society Socials – Monthly events ranging from pub quizzes to games nights, pub golf to wellbeing events, competitions to karaoke – a chance meet new people who are interested in Psychology and allow you to bond with your course mates. We also host very successful fundraising events for mental health charities with us raising £160 for Dorset Mind last year. We often collaborate with other SUBU Societies giving you a chance to meet new people and try something new.

 

  • Group Revision Sessions – Regular events that give you time with other people on your course to work on upcoming assignments, revise or catch-up on course content, or complete online SONA credits with free drinks & snacks and chill music in the background. These sessions will often have an experienced PhD Student or a lecturer present to offer general guidance on writing essays or revision strategies, a great way to break the procrastination cycle.

 

  • Psychology Academic & Career Events – As an academic society we provide extracurricular opportunities to boost your course performance and career prospects. As well as our Group Revision Sessions we have guest speakers in Psychology come in and discuss their careers & research to help you learn more about different areas of Psychology – ranging from Clinical Psychologists, Forensic Psychologists, Cyber Psychologists, Education Psychologists and more.

 

  • Annual Society Trip – Last year we successfully ran a trip to the Sigmund Freud Museum in London, the house where Freud lived and practiced Psychotherapy. Tickets sold out within the first week and was our most popular event, this year’s trip is still TBD but will likely be to Bethlem Museum of the Mind and the Bethlem Gallery, a museum next to Bethlem Royal Hospital – formerly the most notorious “mental asylum” in the UK before it was updated to a modern day psychiatric hospital. The museum focuses on the history of the hospital and aims to promote understanding of mental illness and recovery through its exhibitions, it is also partnered with the Bethlem Gallery, a display of the art of both former and current patients of the hospital.
