Psychosocial Studies

About this course

Psychosocial studies is an interdisciplinary field that brings psychological and social perspectives into dialogue, asking how individual experience, emotion, and subjectivity are shaped by and shape the social world. It draws on psychoanalytic theory, social psychology, sociology, and cultural studies to examine questions that neither discipline alone can fully address: how do social structures get under the skin, how do unconscious processes influence social behaviour, and what does it mean to take seriously both the inner life of the person and the outer structures of society that constrain and enable it? At Birkbeck College, this three-year degree reflects the institution's distinctive ethos of making rigorous academic study accessible to students who may be working alongside their studies, though the programme is taught in full-time mode. You will engage with psychoanalytic theory
