Combine the study of psychology and sociology in this uniquely flexible research based degree. You'll learn how to examine, investigate and understand human life and human experience from the perspective of these two related and fascinating disciplines. You'll develop a detailed understanding of the social world, relationships within it and the social forces that act on us all, knowledge that can be particularly useful to employers across all sectors.

After learning the foundations of both subjects you'll be given the opportunity to specialise in the area that interests you most. This can mean majoring in either subject, so you'll study more modules in one subject than the other. Or you can choose to study equal parts psychology and sociology and graduate with a joint honours degree.

If you choose to major in psychology you will graduate with a degree accredited by the British Psychological Society and be eligible for the Graduate Basis for Registration (GBR), the first step towards becoming a Chartered Psychologist.

You'll develop a range of practical, intellectual, research and transferable skills including psychological and social research methods, group working, communication, critical thinking and problem solving. You'll also gain the skills to source, use and interpret information, design experiments and use related software.
