The Sociology and Psychology, BSc Hons at the University of Greenwich is designed for students who want to explore the complex interplay between individual behaviour and the wider social structures that shape our lives. You will investigate critical issues such as gender, identity, social inequality, and crime, while simultaneously developing a robust understanding of the human mind through the study of perception, memory, and emotion. By integrating sociological theory with psychological research methods, you will gain a comprehensive perspective on how socio-psychological processes influence our relationships with ourselves, each other, and the global community.
Studied full-time on campus over three years, this degree provides a structured learning experience that balances core theoretical foundations with practical application. You will engage with diverse topics ranging from psychopathology and clinical psychology to migration, globalisation, and urban culture. Through your studies, you will develop essential analytical skills, with the opportunity to undertake a dissertation or a work placement in your final year to apply your knowledge in professional settings. Upon graduation, you will be well-prepared for impactful careers in youth and community work, welfare provision, government, and various charitable organisations.
