Course Description

  • Join a long tradition of legal history in the city of Winchester
  • Develop real-world professional skills from practical assessments such as negotiation and mooting – presenting a legal argument to defeat an opponent in court
  • Gain in-depth legal knowledge while developing your understanding of the human mind and behaviours.
  • Benefit from small numbers in tutorials, which allow for rewarding discussions and debates and closer interaction with our expert staff

The BA (Hons) Law with Psychology Programme explores the legal framework of our modern society, whilst being underpinned by psychological theories and issues. Legal knowledge and practical skills will be developed alongside an applied examination of the fundamentals of contemporary psychology.

The Law discipline at Winchester has been developed to embed legal skills, which include mooting, negotiation and client‐interviewing as a general learning, teaching and assessment method. The emphasis on skills-based learning is a core component of the programme and forms a key element in the assessment pattern.

Our three‐year Law with Psychology course appeals to those who are fascinated by these two overlapping and intellectually stimulating subjects. Taught by research‐active experts who form part of a strong and lively community of students and staff, you are actively encouraged to critically evaluate a broad range of psychological and legal concepts, developing your understanding for strategic and operational entities.

Studying for a law degree with us is a thought-provoking experience. The programme encourages you to develop an enquiring and critical attitude to law, learn to think logically and communicate clearly.

In Year 1, you study The English Legal System and Academic Legal Skills; Introduction to English Legal Process and Practical Legal Skills; Introduction to Public Law; Public Law: Judicial Review and Human Rights; Foundations of the Law of Tort; Further Principles of Tort and Introduction to Psychology.

In Year 2, you study Criminal Law - Principles and Personal Offences; Criminal Law - Property Related Offences; Social Psychology, and Personality and Individual Differences.

In Year 3 you undertake a dissertation or an Independent Research Project. This provides you with an opportunity to research in-depth an area of law which is of particular interest with the support of an assigned supervisor.

A wide range of optional modules available in Years 2 and 3 may include Criminal Justice; Human Rights Law; Medical Law; Mental Health Law; Psychology in the Workplace; Family Law, and Technology and Cyber Law.
