Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Psychosocial Studies

This psychosocial studies course was designed to provide a social sciences programme that encourages students to consider individuals' lived experiences in a comprehensive manner.

Rather than focusing solely on a psychological or sociological viewpoint, it offers a more holistic understanding.

Society profoundly influences how people perceive their surroundings, while one's internal experiences shape their thoughts, actions, and relationships. To excel as a professional community practitioner, students need a theoretical and ethical grasp of people's personal motivations, circumstances, beliefs, backgrounds, behaviours, and cultures, as well as a critical awareness of the societal structures and systems that impact lives.

Key features of the course • The curriculum integrates both psychological and sociological perspectives to offer a holistic understanding of individuals' lived experiences. • Emphasis is placed on developing theoretical and ethical insights into personal motivations, circumstances, and cultural backgrounds. • The course encourages critical thinking about societal structures and systems to understand their impact on individual lives.
