NSPC 2026

This year we had the Psych Soc at KMMS as the hosts who did an excellent job at planning and running the NSPC 2026! 

Their two-day event invited students across the UK to engage in an exciting programme of student and faculty-led workshops and speaker events, all centred around their theme: “Mind the Gap - Bridging the Brain, Body, and Society.”

Past events

University of Leeds Psych Soc hosted the conference on 1-2 February 2025 at The Worsley Building in Leeds, under the theme of 'Nature versus Nurture'.

University of Sheffield Psych Soc hosted the conference on 13-14 January 2024 at the Diamond, University of Sheffield. Under the theme of Me, Myself and I, attendees had the chance to explore the intersection of the ‘self’ and the ‘other’.

King's College London (KCL) PsychSoc hosted the conference on 4-5 February 2023 at the RCPsych Head Office. This event marked the 10-year anniversary of the conference.
