Webley received his BSc and PhD from the London School of Economics. After a brief period at the University of Southampton he moved to the University of Exeter, where he remained for 26 years, rising from Lecturer to Professor of Economic Psychology. He was Head of the Department and School of Psychology from 1993 to 2003, and from 2003 to 2006 he was one of the University's Deputy Vice-Chancellors (Senior Deputy VC, 2005-6).
