On this course you will study a variety of topics including understanding
crime and deviance. You will focus on the impact that criminal behaviour has on
society and explore how criminal behaviour can be explained. Whilst studying law you will gain an understanding of the institutions that
govern the UK, how the courts implement justice and you will gain the skill of
“thinking like a lawyer”. The Psychology part of the course introduces to you the study of minds and
behaviour. An understanding of human behaviour is fundamental to many jobs in
society and the study of psychology at degree level.
