BA Sociology with Social Psychology
How do people function in society? Do we pull together because we want to, or because we have to? What motivates so many people to migrate from their own societies to others?
Our course provides a thorough grounding in social psychology and sociology, exploring why individuals, groups, and cultures are the way they are and examining why they might be different, as well as developing your qualitative and quantitative research skills.
You explore the many different social tensions, interactions and networks that make up everyday life from how we relate to politicians, celebrities and friends, to how we define ourselves, our families, and others. You engage your curiosity about a wide selection of sociological questions and topic, including:
- Social psychology, psychoanalysis and social interaction
- Psychology and the science of human behaviour
- Sociology of migration, religious belief, and multinational corporations
- Receive training in sociological methods – how to design a survey, conduct an interview, and use quantitative analysis from basic statistic to big data – in order to ask the difficult questions
You also have the opportunity to complete a supervised dissertation on a topic that inspires you, encouraging you to think differently and connect with live issues and debates.
