This course is designed to equip you with a comprehensive understanding of psychological and sociological perspectives in both theory and practice. Combining psychology’s focus on the individual with sociology’s focus on the social, the course provides you with valuable interdisciplinary insight into topics, issues and debates surrounding human behaviour and society. Our interdisciplinary approach encourages you to connect the dots between psychological phenomena and sociological patterns, fostering a holistic understanding of the human experience. You will also engage with debates about the practical, theoretical and ethical issues in relation to conducting research and analysing data from the perspective of both disciplines, as well as explore how research can be used to better understand and find solutions to address social issues relevant to different communities and social groups. The course will help you to develop your graduate identity – a clear sense of your transferrable skills and competencies and how you can apply these within today’s labour market – through a combination of discipline-specific teaching and experiential, work-based learning which will foreground transferrable skills that employers are looking for. Our graduates have gone into a wide variety of fields, including business, health, media, education, social care and management. On this course you will: reflect upon the ways in which psychological and sociological knowledge can effect real change in people’s everyday lives learn to use social scientific research methods and evidence to make sense of human behaviour learn how to think and write critically, giving you skills that can be valuable in many professional fields and apply your skills and knowledge in a real-world context through experiential and work-based learning opportunities.
