Aims

The Psychology and Management joint Honours programme combines a thorough grounding in psychology and management studies. 90% of the modules are provided by the School of Social and International Studies with the remainder provided by the School of Management.

Management modules, shared by students across a range of programmes, focus on subjects such as organisations, conflict resolution, marketing and human resource management.

Psychology modules, will give you a general introduction to psychology as a discipline, and focus on some key areas within this such as mental health and cultural and theoretical psychology but it will also introduce you to areas of psychology relevant to management such as Psychology at work, and The Social Psychology of Intergroup Relations.

There are a wide range of opportunities available in the public sector: in local authorities, the criminal justice field, social service departments, voluntary sector organisations, and in both the local and national civil service. Many of our graduates also go on to work in the private sector or go on to further study, teaching and research.
