Sociology with Social Psychology

About this course

Sociology and social psychology together examine the forces that shape who we are and how we act. Sociology takes the wider view, asking how social structures, institutions, inequalities and cultural norms shape individuals and groups. Social psychology works at a finer grain, investigating how individuals think about themselves and others, how group membership affects behaviour, and how processes of persuasion, conformity and identity formation operate in everyday life. Studied in combination, the two disciplines give you a genuinely layered understanding of the relationship between self and society, and of how individual experience and social structure mutually shape each other. This three-year full-time degree at the University of York includes a sandwich year with a work placement and a year abroad, giving you professional and international experience alongside your academic studies
