"Research Rotation" concentrates on research methods in Psychology. The aim is for students to gain experience in and understanding of different research topics and methods, and hence acquire a broader range of knowledge and understanding of current research topics and reseach methods in Psychology.

Students will participate in research with two (one in each semester) different researchers at the School of Psychology. Participation includes partaking in lab/research-group meetings, learning the research methods used, working on experiments together with members of the research group, and presenting and discussing papers related to the research topic studied by the researcher and the methods used.
