Bachelor of Arts (Psychology) - Bachelor of Laws

About

People are a vital part of practicing law. Having a deep understanding of human behaviour offers invaluable depth to your role as a lawyer. Likewise, understanding how the law operates can benefit clients for practicing psychologists.

Throughout the Bachelor of Arts (Psychology) you will undertake the scientific study of the human mind and its functions, especially those affecting behaviour. This degree provides comprehensive, foundational knowledge in the processes basic to human psychological functioning. The Bachelor of Arts (Psychology) is the first stage of qualification required to work as a professional psychologist.

The Bachelor of Laws equips you with a comprehensive legal education. This world-class degree provides you with a thorough grounding in the law, the social and ethical context in which law operates, while equipping you with essential practical skills including an internship and integrated skills program.

Careers

Psychology and Law are intrinsically related, with one studying human behaviour and the other attempting to regulate it. Psychological research also has significant impact on the law, investigating areas such as witness misidentification, interrogation techniques of law enforcement, and false confessions. Interpersonal skills in identifying client goals, negotiation and mediation, and an empathetic understanding with a client are cornerstones of both psychology and law, making this degree an advantageous combination.
