Hi there! My name is Merry and I’m in my third year studying psychology. Here in the Psychology Department at Durham we get a truly research led education, with lecturers often using their own work to give us a greater insight into methodology used and being truly passionate about what they teach. Smaller tutorials allow you to gain a more in-depth understanding of a topic as well as getting to know more people on your course. There are loads of different ways to get involved too, from being a course representative to becoming a research assistant. I have loved my three years here and hope you do too!
