Course overview
This course gives students an ability to understand and research the social world from the points of view of both the individual (psychology) and the group (sociology). It equips students for the workplace by instilling the analytical and research skills they need in a complex environment. Students receive a solid grounding in both psychology and sociology. They can choose to specialise in psychology, sociology or another subject area. For more course information, visit UNE's Course Handbook.
