Psychology Students Visit University of Suffolk 

Invited to the University of Suffolk earlier this week, Year 13 students spent time talking about studying Psychology at University and how to set up research, as well as using some of the specialist equipment in the department.   

 Talking through a range of items and techniques, Dr Rachael Martin, Senior Lecturer in Psychology and Course Leader for MSc Applications of Psychology, shared and demonstrated some of them with the students’ help and participation; they began by experiencing eye-tracking glasses which monitor how the eyes behave when wearing them. 

After a lovely lunch, our students were invited to learn about and experience some of the biological equipment used to track and monitor the brain, using lights to alter mood through close contact glasses.   

It was an excellent experience for our Year 13 Psychology students, particularly those applying to study this subject at university, this will certainly be useful when completing their UCAS applications. 

Speaking about the students, Dr Rachael Martin shared, “They had very well-informed research ideas – I was impressed!”
