BDS Extra-Curricular Activities

Induction

Our Welcome Week programme is designed to help you settle in quickly and includes a number of social events. During the week we hold a welcome talk with where you will get to see some of our Psychology Staff, we organise for different services to come and tell you about what things are available to your while you are studying here. There is a talk from our librarian who will tell you all about the resources that are available to you. We organise lunch for you all and this will get chance to speak to the other PGT students that are starting in our department. In the afternoon there will be an introduction talk with the course directors and then an tour around campus to help you find your way around.

Seminars

The MSc Behavioural and Data Science students join the academics and researchers in a University-wide weekly DR@W seminar series. The format is one with lots of space for discussion, and MSc students are right at the heart of this! We have visiting speakers from around the world and research-in-progress talks from departments from across the University, including Psychology, Mathematics, Statistics, Economics, and the Business School.

The Psychology Department and Computer Science Department both have ongoing lecture series from international scholars in these areas.

Societies

The Psychology Society Link opens in a new windowhas events throughout the year.

The student branch of the Behavioural Science GRP, which MSc Behavioural and Data Science students join, organises visiting speakers from behavioural science labs around the world and networking events. Most recently this group has organized a seminar on the neuroeconomics of financial bubbles from Prof. Colin Camerer, and a networking event with Warwick, LSE, and UCL students and over 20 companies at the Shard, London.
