Political Psychology?

I think I'm finally getting somewhere in terms of what I want to do in the future. I'm interested in politics and psychology and I've done some research on political psychology and it seems like the ideal course for me. Do universities offer this course- if so, which ones? I'm also interested in sociology and philosophy and ethics too. What would be the best course to do that has something to do with these subjects? Also, what are the potential careers?
I know I sound like an idiot who has no idea what to do with her life but I think I'm finally getting somewhere in terms of planning my future, so please help- any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Take a look at the HSPS course at Cambridge.

If Psychology is your main interest, you'd probably be better off specialising later on (if you're interested in postgrad study).

PPE does sound like it'd be a good fit for you, provided you're interested in Economics too.

If not, I do know of a few joint hons Politics and Sociology courses- Bristol, Warwick and Newcastle do them. Politics and Philosophy/ Psych and Philosophy are also combinations I've seen around. My friend currently does Politics at the University of Essex, apparently the department there is fantastic, so you might want to look on their website. Good luck!
As well as named courses - e.g. Politics & Psychology or PPE - check out degrees such as Combined Honours, Liberal Arts or Arts & Sciences.

With all these, check carefully that the particular combinations in which you are interested can be studied together. If you take Psychology, you also might want to check whether the degree is BPS accredited.
