The LLB Law with Psychology combines a comprehensive legal education with the study of psychology and human behaviour.

Alongside the seven foundation subjects of legal knowledge (Public Law; Law of the European Union; Criminal Law; Obligations, including Contract, Restitution and Tort; Property Law; Equity and the Law of Trusts; Legal Research), you will study optional modules in Psychology, and the scientific theories and principles which underpin it.

Psychology, through its study of neurology, cognition, development, language and personality, complements the subject of Law, particularly for students who wish to pursue careers in criminology, the criminal justice system or legal practice.

This is a Qualifying Law Degree, recognised for professional purposes by the Bar Council of England & Wales and the Bar Standards Board. The School of Psychology has an international reputation for excellence in its field, ranking within the UK top 20 for research (REF 2014) and amongst the world’s top 100 Psychology departments (QS World University Ranking). 

Internships

Bangor University runs a paid internship scheme within the university’s academic and service departments.

Career

This is a Qualifying Law Degree, which means that graduates of the programme will be eligible to proceed directly to the vocational stage of professional training required to become a barrister or solicitor in England and Wales. An LLB law degree is also a highly-valued qualification for entry into other careers, including government, industry and commerce.

Lawyers with a knowledge of Psychology will be in demand in fields such as criminal justice, the prison service and the probation service. There will also be career opportunities in government and policy-making roles, as well as legal practice.
