You’re passionate about understanding and addressing the issues that shape 21st century societies. You’re fascinated by the intricate workings on modern day communities and want to make a significant difference to the world around you, at local, national and international levels. This course will provide you with the transferable skills and expertise to be able to put your passion for social change into practice in a variety of fields. Bringing Sociology and Psychology together, you’ll get the best of both worlds by exploring the connections between both subjects. You will cover both traditional and cutting-edge aspects of sociology and psychology. As you progress through your studies, you will build a multi-dimensional understanding of how power is exercised and normalised at all levels of society. You’ll be part of a vibrant community and will learn from inspiring lecturers who offer a combination of real-world experience and cutting-edge research. You will gain from their wealth of knowledge in health and social care, politics, popular culture, migration, education, crime and law.As a Sociology and Psychology graduate, you will be able to go into a very wide range of careers, fuelled by the training in social research that gives insights into different subjects. Typical careers have involved working in some form of public sector or welfare role but could also involve graduate trainee programmes, the police or probation services, civil service or local government, marketing, journalism and so on. This can include, after further study, professions such as social work, nursing, or teaching in schools and/or further education.
