Psychology and Sociology are fascinating subjects for those interested in human behavior and how we behave in society.
The A-Level Psychology program focuses on big ideas and topics that affect human mood and behavior, including memory, early cognitive development of children, schizophrenia, and depression.
A-Level sociology looks at important topics in society such as racial and gender identity, criminal behavior, inequality, religion, and family conflict, opening up understanding of human behavior and interaction, as well as ways to improve the society in which we live.
Sociology and psychology are complementary subjects for the study of human interaction, and both are vital in many fields, such as humanities research, and sociological and psychological studies influence changes in the way we view the world and each other.
Psychology and sociology are useful subjects for professions such as psychology (professional, clinical, medical, educational or high-intensity psychology), advertising, psychotherapy, counseling, counseling work, international aid, charity, probation and social work, HR, marketing research, public relations, marketing, law and journalism. Both courses are also useful if you plan to go to university to study sociology, psychology, or other social sciences.
