Members of staff have strong research links with universities in other countries and we have a flourishing international community.

128 | Psychology FACIlities We offer excellent research facilities including: a biobehavioural lab with virtual reality environments; EEG/ERP, TMS and eyetracking labs; access to the University’s fMRI research facility; special laboratories for cognition and infant research; a series of modern animal housing facilities and spaces for behavioural experiments; access to national and international field sites for animal behaviour research and wellequipped workshops. There is an audiovisual studio maintained by a dedicated technician, which features professional lighting and up-to-date editing facilities. Postgraduates and researchers have access to IT facilities offering statistical computing, internet access and resources including world-wide library catalogues, Web of Science, PsycINFO, text corpora and other databases. RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS • Associate Professor Catherine Haslam, Renate Ysseldyk and Professor Alex Haslam from the Social, Economic, Environmental and Organisational Psychology research group are investigating the contribution that groups make to healthy aging. Funded by the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research and the Research Institute for Aging, their research in care homes in the UK and Canada shows that an ability to maintain valued group memberships and create new ones plays a vital role in sustaining mental and physical health as well as intellectual functioning. • Professor Stephen Monsell from the Cognition research group is a world authority on how we organise our minds/ brains to perform one of the many tasks that the current environment affords. His publications include one of the most influential psychology articles of the last 20 years. • The Sir Henry Wellcome Building for Mood Disorders Research, a state-of-the-art dedicated clinical research facility, will be completed in January 2012. It is designed as a fit-for-purpose clinical trial centre, with patient-facing facilities to conduct psychological treatment studies and randomised controlled trials evaluating new interventions. The Wellcome Trust Capital award has also provided funds for a bespoke experimental psychopathology research centre. • The Animal Behaviour group has an excellent track record of attracting funding for postgraduate students in partnership with industry. Recent examples include a project with the Game Conservancy and Wildlife Trust on welfare in pheasants and a project with DairyCo on social behaviour and welfare in dairy cattle. Both projects are expected to improve animal welfare and provide economic benefits to local and national industry. Careers and employment Our postgraduates develop the scientific skills required for research or professional psychology; the communication skills required for marketing and business roles; and the knowledge of people for progression into personnel or caring roles. Exeter’s reputation amongst graduate employers has helped psychology postgraduates into successful careers in research, clinical training and applied psychology, high technology industries, management, personnel, wildlife management, ecotourism, legal and advertising services amongst others. Postgraduates who studied with us in 2009/10 have secured jobs including consumer research analyst, clinical psychologist, zoo research officer and practice counsellor. Postgraduate students can take advantage of the extensive support offered by our Employability and Graduate Development team. See page 20 for further details.
