Psychology with Sociology, Undergraduate - BSc (Hons) - 2022/23 entry

Over the three years, your Psychology modules will help you gain a deep understanding of ones mind, behaviour and reasons why individuals carry out certain actions, while your Sociology modules will explore and question social norms and discover the complex issues behind day-to-day routines and social practices.

We use a blended learning approach, where we teach the core topics and theories in lectures; to explore the topics further we have interactive and activity-based seminars and then to enhance your learning we provide you with online activities and resources. The staff teaching on the course are experts in the areas and topics they teach on, which further enhances your learning experience, as they bring with them their practice or research-based knowledge.

We use a variety of assessment methods, this includes essay and report writing, presentations, using real life examples such as analysing case studies, online based quizzes linked to lecture materials and exams. Our focus on contemporary and innovative learning practices will help you gain key employability skills, such as communication, teamwork and problem-solving, as well as key skills in two innovative, intriguing disciplines.

To compliment these attributes will be a host of transferrable skills, which employers from many contrasting industries frequently look for.

You’ll benefit from visiting professors from various applied psychology settings such as healthcare, clinical psychology, police and specialist academics in other universities.
