Who we were and what we did!

The Psychology Network supported the teaching and learning of psychology across the UK. A core team, based at the University of York, worked with students, staff, departments, professional bodies and overseas organisations to develop supportive networks and to improve the learning experience of psychology students in Higher Education.

We existed to: monitor policy development and keep departments informed about changes that impact on the teaching and learning of psychology; inform staff about innovations in teaching, suggest good practice and provide resource lists; build communities of practice by brokering networks to support the sharing of practice and to stimulate developments in academic practice; encourage research into teaching practice and the learning experience and to provide opportunities for publication; and support departmental developments in relation to teaching and learning.

The Higher Education Academy Psychology Network was funded by the UK HE Funding Councils and University supscriptions through the Higher Education Adacemy.

The Psychology Network supported a wider network of expertise within the psychology academic community through funding for specialist networks, small and large scale projects, and other activities.
