The fields of psychology and law bring up big questions – our degree helps you to find big answers to them as you embark on an absorbing journey exploring where the human mind intersects with legal concepts and issues. Our versatile and innovative Psychology with Law programme focuses on giving you a strong understanding of the nature and extent of key areas of both subjects while gaining vital employment related and academic skills. Delivered by research-active experts in their fields, the course gives you the opportunity to examine all aspects of human experience and behaviour, employing different perspectives within psychology, such as biological, cognitive, social, developmental, and individual differences. The programme has a strong focus on research methods and, in the final year under expert supervision, you complete an extended independent research project. This allows you to engage with the latest research findings and psychological theories and gives you a chance to make a significant contribution to the vibrant research culture at Winchester. In Year 1 you complete an Introduction to Psychology and obtain a solid grounding in psychological research methods. Alongside this, you complete a personal and professional development module as well as an introduction to Law with Legal Systems and Methods. In Year 2, you study Quantitative and Qualitative Research Methods, Social Psychology, Personality and Individual Differences, Developmental Psychology, and begin to learn how to conduct independent psychological research. Optional modules in Law include Criminal Law, Sport and the Law, and Human Rights. As well as your psychology research project, your final year features compulsory modules in Brain and Behaviour and Cognition and Behaviour. In Year 3 you can choose from a wide range of optional modules available for you to explore your special interests. These may include Advanced Statistics and Applied Statistics; Psychology, Crime and the Criminal Justice System, and Eyewitness Psychology. Optional legal modules may include Philosophy of Law, Penology and Prison Law, and Legal Ethics and Risk Management. Due to the wide range of skills, and the rigour with which they are taught, training in psychology is widely accepted as providing an excellent preparation for many careers. The legal components of the programme encourage you to develop an enquiring and critical attitude to law, as well as being able to think logically and communicate clearly. In addition to subject knowledge, you also develop skills in numeracy, analysis, teamwork and independent learning – all of which are highly valued by employers. On graduation, successful careers await you in sectors such as policing, probation, health and social care, and related professions such as social and youth work, education and public sector work. Roles such as psychological wellbeing practitioner and assistant psychologist are open to graduates and are an excellent way to gain experience before taking the next step towards a career as a psychologist.
