Over the past two decades, psychology has become one of the most popular degree topics in the world. It is a fascinating subject that helps us to understand the ways in which our minds, brains, relationships and societies work. At our Malaysia Campus, we have first class facilities and talented scholars working on cutting-edge research. We also enjoy connections with other leading universities across the world and undertake collaborative research with a range of partners both locally and internationally.

Our research spans nine themes:

Active vision research investigates the way the brain handles visual information and focuses on visual cognition and visuomotor coordination in humans and apes.

Visual ecology research examines how visual perception and cognition are determined by people’s knowledge or prior expectations about the characteristics of their living environment.

Face and object processing research investigates the way our visual system processes and recognizes complex visual stimuli, such as faces.

Evolutionary psychology research revolves around the idea that theories from evolutionary biology can shed light on human psychology. Among other things, it focuses on the evolutionary origins of altruistic behaviour and human sex differences.

Memory research investigates the biological and cultural factors influencing the development of autobiographical memory across the lifespan and examines the role of autobiographical memory in the development and maintenance of depression and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
