About the course
What makes criminals tick? Why do innocent people often act like they’re guilty? If you’ve got a burning desire to find out, this could be the degree for you - especially if you’re interested in working with offenders and the criminal justice system. By studying psychology alongside law, you’ll graduate with more than the qualifying law degree you need to professionally train as a solicitor or barrister. You’ll gain invaluable insight into clients’ motivations and areas like negotiation, conferencing, interviewing and witness handling - all essential for a successful career in the law, and many other professions. The aim of the course is to offer the opportunity for intellectual development, to acquire fundamental legal knowledge for progression into the legal profession, the wider employment market or further study and to provide flexibility in developing specialised interests. The degree places a strong emphasis on the development of core legal and other transferable skills, such as oral, written, e-communication and critical reasoning skills, advocacy, personal development planning and group work. This is reflected by a Skills Spine which is embedded in each year of your degree. You will study psychology in both a social and developmental context, enhancing your legal knowledge. The programme offers excellent career prospects for those who wish to qualify as lawyers and also for those who may wish to pursue careers in another professional environment. Year 1 (delivered at Burnley College): The standard full time tuition fee rate for this course in 2023/24 for Home and EU students is £9000 per year. Years 2 and 3 (delivered at UCLan): The standard full time tuition fee rate for this course in 2023/24 for Home and EU students is £9250 per year.
