BA (Hons) Psychology & Social Policy

... United Kingdom
... University of Strathclyde

Course Overview

You'll look at behaviour conditions – how we learn, remember, coordinate our actions and interact with others – and the reasons for individual differences, such as personality or intelligence.

Due to the popularity of the course and performance criteria for entry into Honours (Year 4), the numbers admitted to Years 2 and 3 of the courses are limited.

Social Policy examines how societies distribute resources and develop services to meet individual and social needs. Critical social policy issues discussed include poverty; economic, race, age and gender inequality; social justice health; education; criminal justice and housing.

It utilises qualitative and quantitative methods to improve our understanding of how societies organise their resources to meet individual and social needs and how they measure progress in these areas. 

This programme allows you to learn more about Scottish society's social and economic challenges and place these in a broader international perspective. It draws on history, sociology, anthropology, economics, law, psychology, social anthropology and politics.
