What jobs can you do with bsc physcology and sociology

I’m considering doing the joint psychology and sociology degree. In the future I want to work with children or vulnerable people as a support worker or teacher. Would this be helpful? What jobs could I do with this degree?

Hi Casp,
From personal experience, I did Psychology here at Bath and a few of my coursemates went on to become teachers in primary or special needs schools, so supporting children or people with different needs is a known field you can go into with a degree in psychology or other social sciences. I can also see that this course you've linked is BPS accredited and so if you did want to go onto do a psychology-related postgraduate qualification (such as educational psychology) then you could do so.

What can I do with a sociology degree? | Prospects.ac.uk
As you can see from the above, both Psychology and Sociology will set you up well to do the kinds of roles you are talking about, and just remember too that you can go into teaching with any degree.
Have you had the chance to visit Suffolk? If you've already applied then should you receive an offer you'll most likely be invited to an offer holder visit day - this can be a great chance to ask exactly these questions and also meet some current students and lecturers to see what they like about the course and the uni.
Hope this helps a bit, best of luck!

Thanks so much! Really helps. Also, what is a BPS?

Hi @Caspcasp33. I was a former student and I also worked at a University so I can help you with this. Firstly, a joint psychology and sociology degree would be rather helpful for when working with either vulnerable individuals or children. This would help with giving you a strong understanding of their behaviours and also broader social aspects such as safeguarding, inequality and education systems. The combination is really great and tailored for job roles such as teaching assistant, youth workers and support workers. in addition, the degree is quite flexible. I hope this helped and good luck with everything!

Thank you! I’ve spoken to my sister about it and she said that a joint psychology and sociology degree would only give me half a psychology and half a sociology degree, and if I want to do a psychology job that I would have to do a psychology degree on its own. Is this true? Thanks
