**Overview** How does psychology relate to sociological thinking and research? How can we practise psychology in ways that better contribute to social justice and community wellbeing? How are social inequalities reflected and reproduced in our social interactions and practices? On this BSc (Hons) Sociology with Psychology degree, you'll get the skills, knowledge and opportunities to develop a deep understanding of our behaviour and how this interacts with culture and society. You'll cover traditional psychology and social psychology topics and research. And you'll engage with psychological approaches and topics relevant to sociology and the social sciences, exploring some of the most pressing social issues of our time. You'll be taught by sociologists and social psychologists who are currently doing research that tackles social inequalities and explores the social structures that shape our lives. They bring their specialisms to your learning, meaning you can choose optional modules on specialist topics including nationalism, gender and sexuality, food, emotions and the body alongside studying core modules. The course provides a solid foundation for moving into a variety of people-focused careers, from community development and careers advice, to teaching and charity work.
