Psynapse Magazine

Psynapse is a yearly publication for both staff and students that started in 2013 with the aim of bringing the department together. Student representatives have conveyed that the student body feels alienated from lecturers and researchers. A publication aimed at both groups provides a common-ground area with the opportunity to offer insight into both staff and students lives and inspire more student involvement in the department. Bringing staff and students together creates a sense of community and increases support, encouraging the ‘providence of excellence through learning and teaching’ that the school strives to uphold. The publication is run by a team spanning across all year groups. There is an editor-in-chief, executive editor, assistant editor(s), creative and arts director, researcher(s), a lead writer, writer(s) and a photographer. The team of editors interview people to find out interesting insights into the work that they do within the psychology department, take photographs and design the format.
