Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behavior, focusing on how individuals think, act, react, and interact. This understanding enables psychologists to assist people individually and address broader societal issues through academic and professional practices. A psychology degree offers endless career pathways, thanks to the skills in psychological literacy and analysis gained during the program. Our institution integrates world-leading expertise in experimental psychology, cognitive science, and cognitive neuroscience to advance knowledge of human and animal behavior.Sociology explores how people organize their lives collectively, the constraints they encounter, patterns of social behavior, and the causes and consequences of social inequalities. A distinctive feature of our program, praised by external examiners and graduates, is the integration of sociological, criminological, and anthropological perspectives.
