Course Overview
The set of major/minors offered here combines Psychology with various subjects that include Religious studies, Philosophy and Anthropology. The three programmes offered here present an exciting group of combinations that explore the full range of human behaviours, attitudes and relationships, their internal dynamics within the mind and how those emotions impact upon the wider cultures and communities around them and of which they are part.
The programme combinations look to explore and analyse a broad sweep of different human activities and the mechanics of those activities (be that faith, ritual, socialisation, spiritualism, violence, love, etc ) for individuals as well as for different societies and cultures across the world. In total this makes for an innovative blend of cognate subjects that taken together examine and unlock the human condition in a variety of ways, forms and contexts.
The programmes offered here are composed of an 80-credit major, which will be one of the three main Humanities subjects of Religious studies, Philosophy and Anthropology, combined with a 40-credit minor, formed of two modules for Psychology. At level 6 students will complete a 40-credit dissertation on a subject and methodology that combines both Psychology and their choice of Humanities.
