RHUL PSYCHOLOGY ANNUAL NATIONAL POSTER COMPETITION
This year, the competition will take place on June 15th, 2026.
We will be constantly updating this webpage with information on the competition.
The competition
Every year, the Psycholgy Department at RHUL run a national Psychology competition for schools, enabling Year 12 students to pit their psychology skills against pupils from across the UK (and abroad).
To enter the competition, students will work in groups to answer the competition question with a two-minute video (submitted before the event) and a corresponding poster (to be presented at the on-campus during the Poster Day event).
Students may want to look at findings from psychological studies, think about the implications of a psychological theory, or approach it completely differently. It’s an opportunity for you to showcase your understanding of Psychology and its application.
Students who are interested should inform their teachers to register. Teachers can register your teams comprising of 2 to 5 students in each team from your school or college.
