BA (Hons) Psychology & Economics

University of Strathclyde, United Kingdom
Save

Course Overview

Our primary focus in psychology is the study of human behaviour. Studying with us, you'll look at behaviour conditions – how we learn, remember, coordinate our actions and interact with others – and the reasons for individual differences, such as personality or intelligence.

Due to the popularity of the course and performance criteria for entry into Honours (Year 4), the numbers admitted to Years 2 and 3 of the courses are limited.

Following the recent global economic crisis, economics is more important and relevant than ever. Decisions on money, banking, interest rates, taxation and government spending affect us all with global consequences.

Economics aims to understand the activities of the different economic agents – consumers, producers and the government – and how they all fit together.
