Psychosocial Studies (with Foundation Year) - BA (Hons)

University of East London

This psychosocial studies course was designed to provide a social sciences programme that encourages you to consider individuals' lived experiences in a comprehensive manner.

Rather than focusing solely on a psychological or sociological viewpoint, it offers a more holistic understanding.

Society profoundly influences how we all perceive our surroundings, while our internal experiences shape our thoughts, actions, and relationships. To excel as a professional community practitioner, you need a theoretical and ethical grasp of people's personal motivations, circumstances, beliefs, backgrounds, behaviours, and cultures, as well as a critical awareness of the societal structures and systems that impact lives.

A foundation year at the University of East London (UEL) is more than just an extra year-it’s your pathway to success. It helps you adjust to university life, build confidence, and develop essential skills for levels 4-6 of your chosen degree. With dedicated support, you’ll gain the knowledge needed to thrive in your studies and future career while becoming part of a supportive community.
