BA (Hons) Psychology & Sociology with Foundation Year

The  overall  aim  of  the  BA  (Hons) Psychology & Sociology with Foundation Year enables  students  to study two well-established fields in the social sciences. Both areas explore and study human behaviours at different levels. While psychologists focus on individuals (human behaviours), sociologists examine broader  social  processes,  including  poverty,  inequality  and  social  injustice,  alongside  global  social processes, such as the effects of governmental policies, including neoliberalism and globalisation, upon divergent social groups.  The two disciplines complement each other well, taking a micro and macro focus simultaneously and enable students to have a balanced understanding of the inter-relationship between both individuals and societal formations.
