Our Psychology and Business BSc (Hons) is an ideal combination of complementary disciplines psychology provides you with an understanding of the foundations of human behaviour and insights into methods of changing behaviour. This understanding can then be applied to business contexts, such as managing and motivating the workforce, making effective business decisions, and communicating effectively with customers. Likewise, studying business will enable you to understand psychological knowledge and theories in the context of a real-world setting. Investigate the links between the theory and practice of two exciting and complementary disciplines. Our focus on psychology enables you to understand why people behave in the way that they do by considering the complex interplay between biological, psychological, environmental, cultural, and social influences on behavior. Alongside this, studying Business will provide you with a breadth of business knowledge including the functions of management and the science of decision-making.Our course includes an integrated placement year in the UK or even overseas. A placement year gives you valuable life experience in the context of working alongside professionals in a working environment. Recent students from our suite of psychology courses at Aston have completed a range of fascinating placements with Aston Villa Football Club, British Energy, The Civil Service, Ford, The Home Office, Marks & Spencer, and GlaxoSmithKline
