Our four-year joint honours BSc (Hons) Psychology and Sociology degree with integrated placement year will enable you to explore some of the biggest topics in the world today, from gender, race, and sexuality, to how we behave as a society. If you want to study a British Psychological Society (BPS) accredited degree and are curious about understanding human behaviour and cognition, as well as how people and society operate, studying Psychology and Sociology at Aston University is for you. Psychology is a fascinating subject that aims 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 behaviour. Whilst psychology focuses on understanding behaviour at an individual level, sociology focuses on how individual life experience relates to social problems, how they are reinforced by class, race, religion, and gender as well as how they perpetuate inequalities. Unequal life chances are produced and reproduced in education, health and the media and reflect on many aspects of our lives, from racism, sexuality, and crime to global issues such as migration and climate change. Psychology and Sociology are, therefore, an ideal combination of complementary disciplines.
