BA (Hons) Psychosocial Community Work

Course Overview

Psychosocial Studies derived out of a desire to develop a program in the Social Sciences that enables us to think about individuals' lived experiences not just from a psychological perspective or a sociological one but in a much more holistic way. Society shapes the way that individuals experience their worlds and, in turn, our inner worlds influence our thoughts, actions, and relationships. The two facets are dynamically and intimately related to each other and focusing upon just one aspect severely limits our perspectives of human beings. To become a professional community practitioner, one needs not only a theoretical and ethical understanding of people's personal motivations, circumstances, beliefs, backgrounds, behaviors, cultures, etc, but one also needs to critically consider the societal structures and systems that impact lives.
