Course overview
Our BSc Sociology and Psychology degree will give you expert scientific training in the relationship between the mind, brain, and behaviour while equipping you with the essential theoretical foundation to understand people's behaviour as social beings.
You will study the psychological and neuro-scientific processes that underpin activities such as thinking, reasoning, memory and language, learn about the effects of brain injury, and discover ways to improve health-related behaviour. You will also explore people's behaviour as social beings, as well as the wider social, cultural, political and economic factors that structure society.
You will learn how to generate new knowledge and information using a variety of qualitative and quantitative social research tools, from large social surveys interpreted through statistics through to in-depth interviews with individuals and small groups.
Throughout the course, you will develop excellent research, communication, critical analysis and presentation skills.
