Psychology explores the thoughts, feelings and actions of individuals and groups in a social and cultural context. The goal of psychology is to understand, describe and predict behaviour. Psychology is the systematic study of behaviour, cognition and experience. It is a social science dealing with emotions and individual differences. You’ll learn about behaviour and relationships in social and cultural contexts. Psychology is also a biological science. It examines the neurophysiological, basis of learning and performance, as well as sensory and perceptual skills. As a profession, psychology is dedicated to the promotion of human welfare.

Politics is life, and like life, politics is a struggle. The study of politics equips you with the concepts, theories and facts necessary to make sense of that struggle. Politics is about us: how we make decisions in society and who gets what, when and how. Politics is also concerned with the conflict of ideas and values, not only at the level of the local community or the nation but also internationally. More specifically, it has to do with who governs and how and why decisions that affect all of us (such as how much students pay to study at a university) are made.

There's much more to economics than you might think. With a Bachelor of Arts (Economics) at Massey, you will look at:

•     How businesses decide what to produce and how many people to employ
•     Investigating how people decide what to consume
•     Big-picture world economics.

Economics is concerned with how to allocate scarce resources with competing outcomes. You’ll get a good understanding of the implications of the choices made.

Sociology is about understanding and describing our local society and its global setting. Sociologists are interested in almost all aspects of the social world. During your study of the Bachelor of Arts (Sociology) you will consider questions such as:

• How is society structured?
• How is society changing?
• What divides or unites social groups?
• What causes the inequalities we see in society?
• How does power operate?

With a Massey BA (Sociology) you will ask challenging questions about how things really are in the social world. Culture, ethnicity, class, inequality, gender, mass media, politics, environment, social change and individual and group interactions are important areas that you will study. This is a broad subject that will teach to you think critically about the world and investigate social issues.
