Course Description

Understanding human behaviour is critical for success in law. This double degree helps you develop the analytical skills needed to better understand the reasons underlying the actions of your clients, judges, jurors and the changes to law, all of which will help you develop a stronger and more effective argument for your legal cases. In your first year, you will be exposed to a range of fundamental law and psychology concepts to build your understanding of these two disciplines. As you progress, you will be able to further your knowledge through specialised units such as child psychology, neuropsychology, social and personality psychology, cognition and perception, and psychopathology.
