COURSE DESCRIPTION

Combine the understanding of human nature with law

There are many skills that can be used to complement legal professions – understanding how the mind operates is one of them. This can be used from the boardroom to the courtroom. The Bachelor of Psychological Science/Bachelor of Laws (Honours) will prepare graduates with both skillsets and enable you to forge a career in these overlapping fields.

This program covers a broad range of areas such as mental illness, the biology of the brain, memory, and decision making, along with strong legal understanding and the application of logical reasoning.

This fascinating and evolving field will prepare you to work in a broad range of industries where you can positively impact the lives of others. Combining these two degrees means you can get two qualifications in only five years of study.

Course overview

On completion of the first three years students will have completed all the required courses for the Bachelor of Psychological Science degree.

In the final two years of the combined degree program students complete the requirements of the Bachelor of Laws (Honours) and may enrol in these two years on a less than full time basis.

Career opportunities

Juvenile justice officer

Victims advocate

Behavioural specialist

In-house counsel

Psychologist (with further study)

Lawyer (with further study)
