Combining law with psychological science will give you a unique skill set that will prepare you for work either in the community sector, or in commerce and industry. In the psychological science component, you’ll learn how to apply psychological theories to topics such as thinking and perceiving, motivation, stress, health, criminal activity, and group behaviour. You’ll also learn how to evaluate and understand tests that measure intellectual, behavioural and emotional states. You’ll develop interpersonal and communication skills and learn about the principles of counselling and core areas of psychology. You will have the opportunity to undertake a professional practice placement to enhance your skills. In the law component, you will make connections between law and ethics, legal theory, Indigenous issues, and internationalisation. You will also develop interdisciplinary understandings of law and legal work, and will take courses that cover areas such as Crime, Contracts, Property, Corporate Law, Torts and Theories of Law.
