Bachelor of Psychological Science/Bachelor of Laws

Understand the how and why of how we think, feel, act, and grow in the context of the legal system when you study psychological science and law at UOW. You will scientifically study the human mind and its functions as you gain an in-depth understanding and reasoning of the human experience that will enhance your skills as a legal practitioner. Enhancing your educational, academic and professional qualifications, double degrees allow you to gain two degrees at once, minimising both the time commitment and cost of your studies.

What underlies the physiological, sensory and cognitive processes of the human experience? How do you achieve social justice? On completion, you will be able to answer these questions and more as you enter a global job market with competitive skills, education and experience.

You'll benefit by learning from recognised and passionate leaders in their fields in this degree for the highly motivated and intellectually curious. You will learn core fundamental knowledge across practical and theoretical law subjects in the first year of your degree before progressing into a blend of psychology and law subjects from your second year. You will learn how the science and practice of psychology is influenced by social, historical, professional and cultural contexts, and learn about legal research, interviewing, legal drafting, advocacy and negotiation.

Throughout this double degree, you will gain hands-on experience through a mandatory legal internship and hone your legal skills through our unique embedded skills program that ensures you are equipped with the skills required for success in the legal profession.

You will gain a partial qualification for provisional registration as a Psychologist with the Psychology Board of Australia and be provided a route to Postgraduate coursework or research degrees in Psychology when you complete your Bachelor of Psychological Science.
