    Career

    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.
