On the Sociology with Psychosocial Studies course offered by the University of Essex you discover the many different social tensions, interactions and networks that make up everyday life, as well as the psychoanalytic theories of Freud and Jung and their social applications. You investigate why individuals, groups, cultures and people are the way they are, questioning the unconscious and conscious factors that shape human behaviour.
