Bachelor's Degree
Legal statutes are established to uphold societal order, while psychology examines the motivations behind human actions. This program bridges both disciplines to explore how behavior intersects with and is influenced by legal frameworks. The PhD in law and psychology employs an interdisciplinary approach to cultivate future academics. It integrates comprehensive education in psychological jurisprudence with advanced research methods, statistical analysis, criminology theory, and specialized training in psychological subfields.
Students will apply this expertise to address numerous critical yet under-researched aspects of the justice system that urgently require evidence-based psychological investigation.
