About the AHPD

The Association of the Heads of Psychology Departments (AHPD) is an organisation set up to support and promote the interests of the academic heads of UK and Eire university psychology departments. Note that here ‘departments’ refers to an academic unit (school, faculty, division, etc) delivering psychology degrees and producing academic research. AHPD was set up in the 1970s and has held meetings three times a year since that time, including in virtual form during the COVID pandemic. It was set up because a group of heads recognised a need to support those charged with the leadership of academic departments in the UK as the role involves both a management function and one of promoting and steering the discipline of psychology itself.
