11th - 12th June, Corporate Suite, Lord Ashcroft Building, Cambridge

 

Our Psychology MSc students presented their research from their dissertations throughout the two days. On the evening of 11th June there was a poster session and drinks reception in which the students discussed their work with eager onlookers. Alumni, current undergraduates, graduands, guests, and staff all attended to celebrate the hard work put in by the students.

The topics in the research presented range from neuroscience of processing taboo words to anxiety faced by international students and understanding the psychology of the recent riots. The abstracts are available in the programme:
