"The Institute is widely known as the UK home of Societal Psychology"

Professor Serge Moscovici

Institute of Social Psychology

ISP is the home of Societal Psychology

We are a leading international centre dedicated to consolidating and expanding the contribution of social psychology to the understanding and knowledge of key social, economic, political and cultural issues.

Through teaching, research and intervention in both academia and beyond we are committed to following the steps of the LSE| pioneers who inspired generations around the globe to pursue the societal and cultural approach to psychology.

ISP is now one of Europe's largest academic centres of social psychology, with 21 academics.

‘Students are introduced to a wide range of perspectives and forms of research methodology drawn from Social Psychology and across the social sciences.

This kind of integrative approach to the subject matter is, I think, unique in the UK and quite possibly the world.’

Professor Susan Condor, External Examiner
