About this program
Law with Psychology
This is an exciting course that gives you expansive legal knowledge, skills and experience while developing your understanding of the human mind and behaviours. Study criminal law in conjunction with forensic psychology or company law together with consumer psychology, ensuring you are well-equipped for your chosen career. Our dedicated team of lawyers and criminologists will provide you with in-depth knowledge of the contemporary legal issues that shape our lives and society. Our strong links with the legal profession and industry will provide you with exciting practical opportunities for ‘real world’ experiences.
The course is designed to foster your intellectual independence. You’ll be supported to develop the confidence and skills needed to think critically, to ask and answer cogent questions about law and its role in society, and to effectively communicate your reasoned arguments, orally or in writing.
You will acquire new knowledge and understanding of the principles and values of law and justice, and you’ll learn how law can be used to benefit individuals and societies, including the most marginalised in our community.
During the course you will study the fundamental areas of legal knowledge. For example, Public Law where you’ll learn about how the country is organised and run; Criminal Law which includes examining punishment and the rehabilitation of individuals who break the law, and Contract Law where you’ll learn about how legal agreements are made and operate between people and companies. In addition to this you will have the opportunity to study topics such as Language and its Disorders, Brain and Mind and Learning to be Happy.

Career paths
A Bangor Law degree opens up exciting career paths in law and in many other challenging and rewarding areas where you can make a difference to other people's lives and the planet.
Throughout your studies you’ll acquire the academic knowledge and be introduced to the skills needed to pursue a legal career should you wish to go on to qualify as a solicitor or barrister. You may wish to work in the public sector, for example, as a government lawyer, or in the private sector, perhaps specialising in commercial law, immigration law or criminal law. This degree is recognised by the Bar Council of India.
If you don’t want to practise as a solicitor or barrister, you may still wish to work in an area where your legal training and knowledge would be advantageous and where you can work to make a positive difference. For example, many non-governmental organisations (charities) require people with legal backgrounds to work as policy officers, campaigners and advice workers. International organisations, such as the United Nations and the Council of Europe offer tremendous opportunities to those who are looking for an international career.
As an LLB Law graduate, you will be able to pursue career opportunities in a wide range of other areas, not necessarily connected to the law but for which the general and intellectual skills acquired during a law degree make you extremely well qualified. These may include the civil service, journalism, the media and creative industries, the probation service, the police and the prison service.
During your time at Bangor we work hard to ensure you become aware of the many opportunities that lie ahead of you as a graduate.
- The School works closely with the University’s Skills and Employability Service to provide you with essential information to allow you to make key decisions about your future.
- The School’s Employability Officer works to assist students in finding work experience, including internships and placements.
- If you take the Work Placement module, you will have the chance to experience legal work in a real-life situation.
- The Students’ Union has a dedicated Student Volunteering Office which offers many opportunities to work with the local community.
- Students have access to the TargetConnect service, where students can find local, national and international employment during and after their studies.
