Gain fundamental knowledge

This course introduces you to the British legal system, so you’ll have a thorough understanding of lawyers and their role within society. Plus, in our thought-provoking Public Law module, you’ll cover the legal framework underpinning the UK judiciary, executive and parliament, while exploring the Human Rights Act and European Convention on Human Rights. Throughout the course, you’ll also study topics such as Criminal Law, Contract Law and European Union Law.

You’ll have access to the latest legal knowledge through law databases such as LexisNexis and WestLaw – which give you opportunities to enhance your skills by studying free law courses – and gain certification upon completion.

Develop an understanding of human behaviour

Explore key topics of psychology throughout your modules, including social and occupational psychology, and development through the lifespan. You’ll gain a unique insight into the mind, brain and human behaviour – helping you build a better understanding of yourself and others.

You can also tailor your studies to suit your interests with our optional modules, such as Reasoning and Decision Making; Clinical and Counselling Psychology; and Investigative Psychology. So, whatever your ambitions, you can focus on areas that appeal to you.

Elevate your transferable skills

From time management and critical thinking to working under pressure, you’ll gain valuable workplace skills to help you succeed in a wide range of sectors and industries. You’ll also build on your legal writing, presentation and interview expertise, as well as research – a valuable tool within law and psychology roles.

Access a wide range of career opportunities

An LLB (Hons) Law with Psychology degree isn’t just for a legal career. Management; finance; HR; education; healthcare; counselling – a qualification in psychology can lead to roles across a whole range of sectors.
