Introducing your course
The increasing crossover between psychology and law means there is growing demand for graduates with knowledge of both subjects, for example within legal psychology and policy making. This new, flexible course gives you the opportunity to study psychology alongside a choice of complementary areas from law. You can gain a research-based insight into theories in areas such as personal relations, child development, and mental health that can be applied to your modules in Family, Youth or Health Law.

Year 3

The wide selection of optional modules offered in the final year allows students to specialise in whichever areas of psychology and law they particularly enjoyed during the second year. These seminar courses are based upon individual reading and open discussion of up to date research.

All students must also take Clinical psychology module and choose a topic for a literature review and a research paper, which they complete under the supervision of a member of the Academic Unit of Psychology. The research paper will be the culmination of three years research training and will constitute a valuable piece of psychological research, the best example of which will be presented a cash prize by the Academic Unit.

The third year of study allows for more specialisation with all students taking the following modules:

PSYC 3003 – Literature Review (“Dissertation” part of Empirical Project) core

PSYC 3005 – Research Paper (“Project” part of Empirical Project) core

PSYC 3002 - Current Issues in Clinical Psychology core
