Update: August 24th
We’ve been doing some work on the site over the Summer, so we now have a shiny new Amazon Store, featuring books and DVDs recommended by our members. If you need some pointers, check it out, and if you have any recommendations of your own, please send them to commsofficer@psypag.co.uk and we’ll add them.
We also have a newly relaunched Discussion Forum, where you can talk about anything related to psychology or to PsyPAG, as well as asking for participants for online studies. To celebrate we’re running a couple of competitions throughout September, so please take a look, register (it only takes a minute and we promise not to do anything nefarious with your email address!), and join in; you could win a £20 Amazon Voucher!
PsyPAG is a national organisation for all psychology postgraduates based at UK Institutions. Funded by the Research Board of the British Psychological Society, PsyPAG is run on a voluntary basis by postgraduates for postgraduates.
Its aims are to provide support for postgraduate students in the UK, to act as a vehicle for communication between postgraduates, and to represent postgraduates within the British Psychological Society (BPS). It also fulfills the vital role of bringing together postgraduates from around the country.
- PsyPAG has no official membership scheme; anyone involved in postgraduate study in psychology at a UK Institution is automatically a member.
- PsyPAG runs an annual workshop and conference and also produces a quarterly journal, which is delivered free of charge to all postgraduate psychology departments in the UK.
- PsyPAG is run by an elected committee, which any postgraduate student can be voted on to. Elections are held at the PsyPAG Annual Conference each year.
- The committee includes representatives for each sub-division within the BPS, their role being to represent postgraduate interests and problems within that division or the BPS generally. We also liaise with the Student Members Group of the BPS to raise awareness of postgraduate issues in the undergraduate community.
- Committee members also include Practitioners-in-Training who are represented by PsyPAG.
PsyPAG maintains a JISCmail list open to ALL psychology postgraduate students and is located here. This list is a fantastic resource for support and advice regarding your research, statistical advice or postgraduate issues.
You can also follow PsyPAG on Twitter and add us on Facebook.
