Combine the study of the mind and human behaviour with a fully accredited law degree, and you’ll open an insightful and intellectually stimulating world of professional opportunities.
Accredited by the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC) and the Australian Psychological Society (APS), your psychology studies will allow you to gain a solid grounding in topics like cognition, psychopathology and biological behaviour, and give you to the tools to instigate practical solutions to problems within various social and economic contexts.
Your law studies will provide opportunities to study the theoretical and historical contexts of the legal sphere, explore a variety of law subjects (contract, constitutional and more), develop the advocacy abilities of a socially and ethically responsible clinical and legal practitioner and participate in advanced research projects that will expedite your skill-set to an advanced level.

What’s more, UC’s Bachelor of Science in Psychology/Bachelor of Laws allows students to fast-track their studies during winter term and, in their final year of study, begin their Graduate Diploma of Legal Practice.
