The Weekend University aims to make the best ideas in psychology more accessible to the general public.
To do this, we organise ‘lecture days‘ on weekends where you get a full day of talks from the UK’s leading psychologists, and university professors. We carefully select our speakers, so that you only get the most interesting lectures from the best universities – giving you the best bits of a university semester, at a tiny fraction of the price.

What TWU attendees are saying:
I just wanted to say what a fabulous day it was on Sunday. The presenters were all highly engaging and the material fascinating. I am ever so grateful to have been able to attend and look forward to any future similar events with ‘zest’!
I found the 3 speakers to be extremely well prepared, professional, charismatic, authentic in their delivery of there content. They all had something to share. They were very clear on the “takeaways” which I found in important for such a long day. They all 3 were also very generous in spending time after their talk, to answer more 1-2-1 questions on the side of the room. Very generous. I look forward to future weekend university days.
What an intense and heartening day, Jan 28th at Birkbeck U venue. Despite being crowded (testiment to the desire for these events and the caliber) we were comfortable enough to be riveted by the material for hours. I appreciated the free coffee, because the day was long for those like me who come from outside the city. I look forward to the slides being sent to fill out my notes. Fellow audients were warm and attending for a variety of reasons, and are the second fab reason to be there for the day.
