About Sociology And Psychological Studies | BA (hons) in Leeds Beckett University
Course Details
Add a social psychological insight to questions traditionally associated with the study of sociology. You will discover how we develop as individuals and learn how institutions and social structures influence how we act. Touching upon the theories of classical and contemporary sociologists, you will explore a wide range of sociological themes, and study psychological topics, including how different environments shape human behaviour, the inter-relationship between the individual and broader social and cultural phenomena, and how psychology can be used for the benefit of society. You will be able to shape your course to the career you want by selecting from a range of option modules in the final year.
Course Benefits
As part of your studies you will undertake a wide variety of assessments. In your second year you could participate in a day-long conference where you will have the opportunity to present your own research findings. You could also publish your essay in our university's highly-regarded sociology journal.
You will gain practical experience in research, as you conduct observational exercises within the city of Leeds, gleaning insights into people's behaviour. Leeds is the perfect place to study and is packed with organisations that can offer chances for work experience and job opportunities upon graduation.
Unlike other joint degree programmes, this course will allow you to focus equally on sociology and psychology, and you will be encouraged to determine your own line of enquiry. You will have plenty of opportunities to develop your practical experience through live projects and observational research trips.
You will learn from our team of expert academics, all of whom are research-active and specialists in their field.
