Course overview

When you combine your Bachelor of Laws (LLB) with a Bachelor of Psychology, you’ll build special expertise in the social and developmental areas of psychology, and complete a unit in Family Relations and Social Development.

You’ll explore crime from a range of perspectives, including law, sociology and psychology and learn how to reduce or prevent crime and help both the victims and offenders involved in the criminal justice system.

You’ll examine leading-edge research and get opportunities for practical experience to explore how we make sense of ourselves.
