Postgraduate Study: Many graduates pursue an LLM in areas such as criminal law, family law, international human rights law, or forensic psychology. Some opt for a PhD in Law or psychology, focusing on criminal psychology, mental health law, or social psychology.

Graduates are well-suited for careers as Solicitors or Barristers, particularly in areas like family law, criminal law, and mental health law. They may also join top chambers or law firms with specialisations in forensic law and psychological assessments.

Forensic psychology is a popular field, where graduates work in legal and criminal settings, conducting psychological assessments and providing expert witness testimony.

Graduates can also transition into roles as psychological consultants in corporate law, particularly focusing on employee wellbeing, mental health, and organisational psychology.

Many choose to work in public policy, social justice, or government legal services, advising on laws related to mental health, addiction, or the criminal justice system.

Opportunities also exist in NGOs focused on mental health, disability law, or human rights.

The combination of law and psychology opens doors to mediation, conflict resolution, and roles in rehabilitation and counseling for offenders.
