Course summary

On our BASc Psychology and Global Sustainable Development (GSD) degree you will apply your passion for Psychology to answering the pressing questions of our time by studying it in combination with GSD. Why do people think, behave, and understand themselves in certain ways? Why does this vary between individuals and across cultures? How might a more complete understanding of human behaviour help to achieve a more sustainable future for all? This BASc in Psychology and GSD challenges you to ask these questions across both sides of your degree. You will study biological, developmental, and social aspects of human psychology with Warwick's Psychology Department. Meanwhile, you will balance your studies with the GSD Department, by delving into the pressing questions of today, including food and water security, gender equality, and climate change. Throughout, you will be researching the relationship between individual behaviour and the global challenges we all face. By studying GSD, you will take a transdisciplinary approach and confront issues from a diverse array of perspectives. You will need to be ready to think creatively and embrace new opinions from your peers from across the world. We will challenge you to become an active participant in your own learning. You can enhance your skills and studies through optional work placements, study abroad, and certificates.
