Law with Psychology LLB

<strong>About the course</strong><br/><br/>This new and exciting LLB course combines a qualifying law degree with the study of psychology. It will offer you an understanding of how the disciplines of Law and Psychology intersect and mutually inform one another. At the core of legal systems lies the aim to govern and regulate human behaviour, necessitating a strong understanding of psychological principles. Consider how laws are interpreted and applied — by magistrates, judges, lawyers, and others within the legal system—all influenced by their own psychological biases, perceptions, and cognitive limitations. This human element introduces a fascinating layer of complexity to the legal process, as decision-making within the law is not immune to factors and follies that influence human behaviour. These factors include biases (both conscious and unconscious), emotional states, cognitive overload, and social influences, each of which can impact judgments and outcomes in the legal context. You will embark on your career armed with this deep understanding of this human element.<br/><br/><strong>About Sussex</strong><br/><br/>Our courses, research, culture and campus aim to stimulate, excite and challenge.
