Faculty of Health and Faculty of Laws
The degree in psychology provides the basic academic training required for those wishing to qualify as a professional psychologist. A solid grounding is provided in all areas of psychology including learning, cognition, social and development psychology, psychopathology, perception, biological bases of behaviour, individual differences and statistics. With the growing complexity of psychological knowledge, postgraduate study after a three year degree is essential for professional practice. Students are able to graduate with the degree of Bachelor of Science in Psychology at the end of three years.
The law degree prepares students for employment in the legal profession as either solicitors or barristers. It has a strong practical and skills orientation, and equips students with competencies in the basic areas of legal practice. It also has a strong commercial orientation which meets the educational requirements of graduates, thus making it attractive to other professions especially those from accounting, finance or administration. The course is designed for students intending to practise in law or accounting firms, or in government. The capacity to enter legal practice gives graduates the flexibility to change careers if necessary.
