You'll learn:
  • Evidence and criminal procedure

  • Private and public law

                    Learn how to apply the legal principles underpinning contract law, develop the skills to specialise as a corporate legal expert and discover how government power is distributed, exercised and controlled.


  • Clinical, health, developmental and social psychology

                    Understand how to help people cope with mental and physical disorders and investigate how environmental factors contribute to our psychological makeup.


  • Psychological assessment, intervention and research

                    Become familiar with methods used to understand and measure people's psychological state, and learn when and how to intervene or conduct research.
