The Faculty  

The Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN) is a School of King's College London and the largest academic community in Europe devoted to the study and prevention of mental illness and brain disease. The IoPPN broadens the remit of the former Institute of Psychiatry to consolidate King's neurosciences, with the addition of the Wolfson Centre for Age-Related Diseases and the MRC Centre for Developmental Neurobiology.  

The complementary roles of the IoPPN are:  (i) to pioneer research into new and improved ways of understanding and treating mental illness and brain disease; (ii) to offer advanced research training for psychiatrists, psychologists, neurologists and other scientific and paramedical workers.  The IoPPN's greatest strength is the interdisciplinary nature of both its research strategy and educational activities, providing unique opportunities for students and staff.  

The IoPPN comprises three Academic Divisions in Neurosciences; Psychiatry; and Psychological & Systems Sciences. These encompass researchers with interests in addictions, biostatistics, child and adolescent psychiatry, basic and clinical neuroscience, forensic mental health sciences, health service and population research, neuroimaging, psychology, psychological medicine, old age psychiatry and psychosis studies. The Institute also hosts an NIHR Biomedical Research Centre for Mental Health and an NIHR Dementia Unit, as well as the MRC Social, Genetic and Developmental Psychiatry Research Centre.  

The IoPPN offers a range of Diploma, BSc, MSc, MPhil, and PhD courses in psychiatry, psychology and related basic and clinical neurosciences.
