Course summary

Overview Studying Psychology and Sociology in combination allows you to gain a deeper understanding of the human psyche and the social complexities that link with it. Your study of sociology will inform your exploration of psychology from a unique perspective, enabling you to go on to unlock specialisms including forensic, clinical, counselling, and business psychology. The joint honours course utilises research projects and work-based learning – alongside one-to-one tutorials and personalised feedback – to develop your knowledge and confidence. Students graduate with the skills and experience that support a career in relevant fields and industries. Key features
