Behavioural Sciences BSc(Hons
Your course 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.
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.

“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.”
