Facilities

The Department is well equipped offering easy access to a range of audio-visual and IT facilities, for use both in teaching and by students for project and coursework. The research facilities have recently benefitted from the addition of a new suite of purpose-built testing cubicles for running experiments and a new research resources room for final year project students.

Teaching and research in Developmental Psychology at Stirling is enriched through the Department's on-site Playgroup facility which provides access to 3 and 4-year-old children who, subject to parental consent, participate in developmental psychology research projects.
