Course summary

Law plays a key role in all aspects of our lives. Whether at work or play law governs our behaviour and gives shape to government, business and personal relationships. Our LLB Law with Psychology course will provide you with key communication and research skills. Alongside the core topics which satisfy the Foundation of Legal Knowledge requirements of the Law Society and the Bar Council, you will study key psychology topics such as psychology and criminal behaviour, psychology and mental health, critical social psychology, psychology and criminal justice and forensic psychology in practice, which will provide you with a greater understanding of human behaviour alongside your law studies. The LLB is recognised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and the Bar Council as a Qualifying Law Degree which exempts you from the academic stage of legal training. In-class teaching is supported by a range of fantastic extra-curricular opportunities including our Law Clinic, our award-winning Refugee Legal Assistance Project and our mooting debate programme. Our law school offers state-of-the-art facilities and will expose you to the latest developments in legal practice, preparing you for a successful career in law, as well as other professional areas. Our law graduates leave us as articulate, knowledgeable and work ready individuals with a range of transferable skills to pursue a career in law, management, HR, the public sector, education and many other areas.
