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

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.
