Description:

Psychology with Sociology combines the study of people and society with a deep insight into human thought, action and behaviour. Blending the benefits of a scientific approach with the ability to think creatively, you will develop a set of skills essential for many interesting careers. Psychology graduates work in almost every area of society, adding value with their numeracy, IT literacy, communication and problem-solving capabilities.

In the first year, you will study both subjects on an equal basis before specialising in one of the two areas. The course is accredited by the British Psychological Society and confers the Society"s Graduate Basis for Chartership (GBC) for psychology majors - the recognised initial standard for those wishing to become practitioner psychologists. Built around the core BPS curriculum, the course is geared to applying academic knowledge to real-world situations, training you in a range of advanced methods and transferable skills for a variety of careers. Taught by internationally recognised practitioners and mentored by a dedicated personal tutor, you will also have the opportunity to undertake work-based learning.
