Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Law and Psychology (MC18)

Law shapes the society and influences every aspect of people lives. It defines obligations and legal requirements, serves to regulate and define relationships and provides a means of redress when problems arise. To study Law is not only to study a challenging subject, but also to study the rules, principles and policies that underpin society. This degree gives students a theoretical and philosophical grounding in Law, as well as the ability to engage in its practical study and application.

By studying Law, students will gain an understanding of the fundamental principles, theories and key ideas that underpin the law in England and Wales. They also learn about the way Public Law provides the legal framework within which government and administration functions, the structure of Law and Government under which people live, and the values of democracy, rule of law and constitutionalism that underpin that structure.

Liverpool Hope University sees Psychology as a discipline with the capacity, and responsibility, to make a positive contribution to how people live in everyday life. The university strives to enable students to grow into constructive citizens who are curious about people, and motivated to make a positive difference to the lives of others. Beyond classroom learning, there are opportunities to enrich students' chosen program of study in a way that will help them in developing their psychological thinking. They include going on a placement year, working as a research assistant in a laboratory, travelling to another country as part of Global Hope, or studying abroad.
