What drives people to make the choices they make and do the things they do? And how do those processes go on to form relationships, groups and society as a whole? This course takes a fascinating look at the individual and social processes that help to shape the world we live in.
Course length: 3yrs full-time
The study of behavioural sciences combines elements of psychology and sociology to explore how individuals behave, and how society functions. It looks at life as we live it, and the situations we all know and experience, to understand what goes on under the surface. We’ll give you lots of opportunities to explore real-life examples and situations, moving beyond the theory to see what it means in context. In your second year you’ll have the chance to go on a 30-hour work placement, giving you hands-on experience. You may also have the opportunity to study abroad for a term in your second year, previous students have studied in America, France and Italy.

“Overall the course has broadened my knowledge on the social and psychological aspect of dealing with trauma, and how policies and procedures affect people in different ways based on their views and perspectives. All the modules were delivered in an interesting way. The lecturers were pleasant and approachable, inviting questions, offering help and providing support to anyone unsure or experiencing difficulties.” Zoe Hanwell-Purves graduated from Behavioural Sciences BSc(Hons) in 2019 and is now a Mental Health Counsellor at Caring for The Self 4
