Birkbeck’s BA Psychosocial Studies enables students to unravel the interconnected psychic and social forces that produce us as people and to determine our complex relations to one another. While sociology students study the social world and psychology students study the brain and behaviour, psychosocial studies students investigate the relation between individuals and the social sphere: how people are made up of the relationships they have with one another and with the world around them. This means deepening students’ understanding of the emotional, imaginary and symbolic aspects of living together. The Department of Psychosocial Studies is genuinely interdisciplinary with academics coming from backgrounds in anthropology, cultural and postcolonial studies, education studies, gender and sexuality studies, literary studies, critical psychology, psychoanalytic studies and sociology. Graduates can pursue careers in social research, education, psychotherapy or the media and creative arts. This degree may also be useful in becoming a psychotherapist, higher education lecturer, community arts worker, charity officer or community development worker.
