Overview

At a Glance

Psychology covers a wide range of theoretical and applied disciplines including cognition, perception, language, mental health, lifespan development, neuropsychology, the dynamics of social groups, and psychometric testing, including the measurement of personality and intelligence.

Sociology is involved with why we do what we do, such as love, families, crime, law, poverty, wealth, gender, ability, population growth, war, peace and development.

With the Psychology and Sociology programme of the University of Aberdeen you can go on to careers in either or both subjects combined to public sector organisations in social and community work, or study towards specialisms in behavioural areas.
