**Studying psychology and sociology together will give you a fascinating insight into how humans behave, both as individuals and within groups.

They have been created so that you can: - Start your career or masters course a year sooner - Save money by paying for just two years’ tuition fees - Save money on the costs associated with being a student - Based at Farnborough College of Technology, we offer classroom-based lectures, a small campus experience and plenty of personalised support. This makes us a popular choice locally for those who want to study higher education in a down-to-earth setting – where you won’t get lost in the crowd. Modules chosen at Level 5 and Level 6 will define the particular degree title awarded, of either BSc (Hons) Psychology with Sociology or BSc (Hons) Sociology with Psychology. **What will I study?** **Psychology** For those interested in the mind and human behaviour, psychology is a fascinating subject to explore. Our degree introduces you to a number of insightful topics, designed to stimulate and challenge your way of thinking. Biological, social, developmental and cognitive psychology are investigated to uncover the reasons for certain human behaviours. These topics are linked to real-life issues to encourage relevant thought about why people are the way they are. You will dive into important topics such as research methods and data analysis to ensure your work is academically sound while feeling confident about your ability to create insightful work that unpicks the human mind. **Sociology** Sociology is an enlightening subject for those who like to think about social issues in the world, such as inequality, sexuality, class and mass media. Studying these fascinating topics with us will encourage you to think objectively about why people behave in certain ways. You will be considering questions such as: What role does crime play in shaping society? How can society address inequality? Why doesn’t society do more to improve global issues? During your degree, you will uncover the theories that seek to explain why some groups of people can flourish together, while others try to tear each other apart. You will delve into contemporary theories and discover how different cultures fit into our society. As a sociology student, your critical-thinking skills will be honed as you begin to broaden your understanding of society and its relationship with our everyday lives.
