Law and Psychology BA

LAW

Law shapes our society and affects every part of our lives. It sets our duties, regulates relationships, and offers ways to resolve disputes. Studying law means exploring a complex subject and the rules that support society.

Our law degree gives you a strong foundation in both theory and practice. You will learn about the key principles and theories that form the law in England and Wales. You will also study how Public Law creates the framework for government and administration. This includes the values of democracy, constitutionalism, and the rule of law that uphold our system.

This law course aims to create graduates who not only know the law but also understand its impact and potential changes. You will think critically. You will connect ideas from different subjects. You’ll question readings and explore topics that interest you.

You can study the LLB or Joint law degrees over three or four years. Choose four years, and the third year offers legal work experience. This helps meet the Solicitors Qualifying Exams requirements.
