Dr Daniel Bishop
Reader in Psychology

Teaching

I hold a City and Guilds 7407 Certificate (Stage 1) in Further Education. I was the first member of academic staff to complete the Professional Development in Academic Practice here at Brunel; I am also a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. I have conducted research to examine the quality of visually impaired students’ experience at the University, attracting HEFCE-allocated funding (£19.3K) in doing so. Accordingly, I completed a project funded by the Brunel Educational Excellence Centre, which illustrates the benefit of visual guidance for learning from short vodcasts; this complements my ongoing research (see Research) and is the epitome of research-led teaching that we continually strive to deliver at Brunel.

I lead SP5521 Individual Differences in Sport and Exercise, a compulsory module for students on our flagship Sport and Exercise Psychology MSc programme, and a popular option for those on our Sport, Health and Exercise Sciences MSc. I have also made significant contributions to delivery of these masters modules in recent years:

• SP5530: Dissertation
• SP5535: Social Processes in Sport and Exercise
• SP5601: Physical Activity and Health
• PY5619: Cognitive Rehabilitation and Neuroplasticity

I lead the undergraduate module SP2606 The Psychology of Sport, Exercise and Physical Activity: Theory and Application and have delivered on many undergraduate modules in the same period:

• SP1600: Introduction to the Psychology of Sport and Exercise
• SP2555: Placement Module
• SP3602: Applied Sport and Exercise Psychology
• SP3603: Advanced Research Methods and Data Analysis: Final Year Project
