A Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Sociology (Honours) is an undergraduate degree program that typically takes four years to complete. This program provides students with a comprehensive education in the principles and practices of both psychology and sociology.

Graduates with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Sociology (Honours) may pursue careers in a variety of fields, including social work, counseling, community development, human resources, market research, and non-profit organizations. Additionally, some graduates may choose to pursue advanced degrees in psychology, sociology, or related fields.
