Profile
Professor Andrew Guppy, Professor of Applied Psychology, Chartered Psychologist
I gained a BSc in Psychology from the University of East London in 1980. My MSc and PhD degrees were awarded in 1982 and 1985 from Cranfield University for research in the area of human factors and the deterrence of drink-driving.
I am a Chartered Psychologist with the BPS, and a full member of the Divisions of Occupational Psychology and Health Psychology.
