Curriculum
This three-year, full-time course (or four years part-time) gives you the chance to explore the relationship between individuals and their society, and includes a 50-week placement to give you real workplace skills.
These could be how to collate and interpret research as it applies to real-life situations, and how to present material in written or verbal form. Or, quite simply, how to relate to people faced with issues such as mental illness and crime.
The uniqueness of the course is in the sheer breadth of subjects covered. You’ll gain insight into problematic areas of human behaviour and experience. And you’ll also gain a fascinating insight into ‘ordinary’ aspects of everyday life such as shopping, television, the body and food.
Foundation Year
If you don’t meet the entry requirements for a bachelor’s degree, you can study this course as an ‘extended’ four-year programme. You’ll begin with a foundation year, which will prepare you for a successful transition to the degree course a year later.
By the end of the degree you’ll gain the same qualification as those obtaining direct entry to the course but you’ll take one year longer to complete your studies.
