Psychological and Behavioural Sciences Tripos

 

Information for each year of the PBS Tripos is available via the links to the left.

The resources below are available for staff and students.

  • The Department of Psychology Library collection covers all aspects of psychology taught in the Department. The Library's holding can be searched via the online catalogue here. Most of the Library's books are borrowable. There is an adjoining Student Common Room, The Psych Sanctuary, where drinks and snacks may be bought and lockers are available for hire.
  • The Social and Political Sciences Library holds an extensive collection of books and journals on social and developmental psychology. It also contains books and journals for the Department of Sociology and Department of POLIS.
  • Guidance for Supervisors
    • Hosted in the Student Hub (Moodle). Email teaching[at]psychol.cam.ac.uk if you don't have access.
  • Transfer process (for current University of Cambridge undergraduate students on other Triposes):
    • Into Part IA or Part IB: Transfers are at the discretion of the Director of Studies (DoS). Contact your DoS or College Tutorial Office in the first instance, and email teaching[at]psychol.cam.ac.uk for further information if required.
      • Please note: Transfer into PBS IB for the 2024-25 academic year is not possible. Transfer students are required to take papers PBS 1 and PBS 2, which will no longer be available as we transition into the new PBS Tripos structure.
    • Into Part II, from NST, MedSt or VetSt: An application to transfer must be made via the NST Part II allocation process.
    • Into Part II, from other Triposes: An application must be made to the PBS Management Committee for their Easter Term meeting. Contact your DoS or College Tutorial Office in the first instance, and email teaching[at]psychol.cam.ac.uk for further information if required.

Further guidance on the PBS transfer process for undergraduate students already studying at Cambridge is available to DoSes by emailing teaching[at]psychol.cam.ac.uk.
