Level: Undergraduate
CRICOS: 04249J

Adelaide University's Bachelor of Law (Honours), Bachelor of Psychology will empower you to understand and work with the laws that govern us, and the behaviours of the people who live under these laws. Develop a strong understanding of the key theories that underpin both disciplines, and how they apply into real contexts throughout Australia. Then, learn how to put these skills into practice with real-world learning. You'll graduate with an understanding of the key legal principles of Australian law and the psychological concepts that underpin modern psychology practice. You'll be able to compassionately meet the needs of people while understanding the basis of their behaviours, and can apply your skills in advocacy, policy or research roles. To become a law professional like a solicitor or barrister, you will need to complete further study in the Graduate Diploma of Legal Practice. To become a registered psychologist you will need to continue your psychology studies with an honours degree in psychology or a Graduate Diploma in Psychology (Advanced) before going on to a master's degree in psychology.
