Cambridge Psychology Talks - Your Questions Answered

What psychology topics are covered in Cambridge talks?

We cover a really diverse range of subjects in our Cambridge psychology lectures - from neuroscience and mental health to cultural studies with a psychological angle. Past talks have included ADHD and women, the science of microdosing, trauma and the body, and the neuroscience of emotions. We've also explored the psychology of Carl Jung, the neuroscience of music, the history of witchcraft and feminism, and even the art history of Studio Ghibli. Cambridge has such a rich academic tradition, and whether you're coming from the city centre, out in the villages, or travelling from Ely or Peterborough, you'll find talks that blend rigorous science with genuine fascination.

Who are the speakers at Cambridge psychology events?

We bring in properly qualified experts - clinical psychologists, neuroscientists, university researchers, and academics who are passionate about sharing their knowledge. Previous Cambridge speakers have included Dr Megan Klabunde on trauma and the body, Dr Marcus Pearce on the neuroscience of music, Dr Chris Timmermann on magic mushrooms, and Dr Angela Cotter on Carl Jung. Faissal Sharif has spoken about the neuroscience of emotions, and Deba Choudhury on intergenerational trauma. It's the sort of lineup you'd expect in a university city like Cambridge - rigorous, thoughtful, and genuinely engaging.

How much do tickets cost for psychology talks in Cambridge?

Tickets generally start from around £15, making quality psychology education accessible to everyone in Cambridgeshire. We don't think you should need a university affiliation or loads of money to learn about neuroscience, mental health, and the workings of the mind. For a reasonable price, you get an evening with leading experts, thought-provoking content, and the chance to meet other people curious about psychology and cognitive science.

Are refreshments available at Cambridge venues?

Yes, drinks are available at most of our Cambridge talk venues. It's nice to have that option to grab a drink, settle in, and have a chat with other attendees before the talk kicks off. Whether you want something alcoholic or a soft drink, you'll generally find what you're after. We want the atmosphere to be welcoming and sociable while still being intellectually stimulating - that's the Cambridge way, really.

How many psychology talks has Seed Talks hosted in Cambridge?

We've hosted 18 psychology and neuroscience events in Cambridge, welcoming over 6,000 attendees. Cambridge is such a natural home for these sorts of talks - there's a real appetite for rigorous, evidence-based discussions about mental health, cognitive science, and the human mind. From the city centre to the surrounding towns and villages across Cambridgeshire, we've built a lovely community of people who value learning about psychology in an accessible, engaging way. The turnout's been brilliant, and we're looking forward to bringing more quality psychology lectures to the area.

Do I need a degree to attend psychology talks in Cambridge?

Not at all! While Cambridge is famous for its academic rigour, our talks are designed for everyone. You don't need a degree in psychology or neuroscience - just curiosity about how the mind works. We get all sorts attending: university students and staff, of course, but also professionals from other fields, retirees, and anyone interested in mental health and wellbeing. The speakers are skilled at making complex psychology accessible without dumbing it down, which is perfect for Cambridge's diverse and inquisitive community.
