Cambridge (COUPS)

Welcome to the Cambridge region home page of the Open University Psychological Society.

We run events for OUPS members in Cambridge and the surrounding area. But of course everyone is welcome to attend no matter where they live. We aim to provide opportunities for OUPS members to broaden their experience of psychological topics and to mix with OUPS members and others with interest in psychology. OUPS Cambridge is run by volunteers who are current or former OU psychology students. If you would like to volunteer to support our events, please do get in touch on This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

At COUPS we try and offer a range of different events to suit everyone, whatever stage you are at in your studies. In the last year we have run module overview days, methods days, pub socials and a day conference on PTSD.

This year our day conference is on 8 th June and the topic is Learning Difficulties, looking at topics such as Dyslexia, Working memory, ADHD and Autism. The conference will be of interest to students, teachers, academics and professionals working in the field. You can find out more about the conference and book to come to this event on this website.

We have lots of other things planned for you this year including a Methods Day to help you move from level 2 to level 3 and a Well-being Day Workshop, as well as module overview days at the start of the academic year. We will be posting more information on these shortly.

We hope to see you soon at a COUPS event!
