Professor Kevin Browne, Head of Institute, leads an enthusiastic and expanding team of highly qualified Chartered Occupational Psychologists, Chartered Health Psychologists and Chartered Clinical Psychologists. All are active in teaching and research, with international reputations in their areas of expertise. We engage in projects with colleagues across the University: in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, the Business School and the School of Psychology.
We work closely with industry, healthcare services, policy-makers and governments – both on the national and international stage. The Institute hosts the Centre of Organisational Health & Development that is a designated Collaborating Centre in Occupational Health of the World Health Organization. We are committed to an international approach to research and education. Students from over 40 countries have successfully graduated from our MSc or PhD programmes. We have research collaborations with colleagues in many countries.
In September 2008, the Institute moved to state-of-the-art new accommodation, International House, on the University’s extension to the Jubilee Campus, developed with an emphasis on sustainable design and renewable energy sources. The University has invested £200 million in this new scheme designed by Ken Shuttleworth, designer of the famous and award-winning London 'gherkin'. We are housed in the same building as the School of Contemporary Chinese Studies, facilitating the Institute’s developing research and education links with China.
