Law or Psychology.

I am on an Access to Humanities and Law course at college and am wondering where next.
I am very tempted to follow this course with an LLB (Law) at somewhere like UWE in Bristol.
Is this wise? How does this compare to a Psychology based study Say Criminology.

Psychology is a subject I really enjoy at college but sometimes would like a little more "black / white" answers.


What are anybody's thoughts also for Law I saw that UWE has its own mock court rooms and work experience programs that look great. How does this compare to say Bristol, Reading, Gloucestershire or even the Law Unit that's in Bristol.
If you like black and white answers law is probably better for you as a psychology degree with criminology is highly theoretical meaning that it has a lot of gray areas.
There are gray areas in law but less so than psychology.
Thanks Anon2010, Hopefully somebody will be able to help further with some Uni Options.

I'm at Bristol from an Access course - I also looked at UWE.
They both have benefits, but personally the prestige of Bristol and the areas of law the lecturers specialised in won me over. Now that I'm here I'm loving it. There is also plenty of jurisprudence and socio-legal context for when you're looking for more of a theoretical answer :smile:
Go for Bristol !! Are you a mature student?

Why Bristol above UWE or even the "bespoke" Law Uni they have in Bristol. Do have some more pros / cons other than what you've stated above?
Got to admit I liked the look of the mock courtrooms at UWE but I do not know a lot more about it or a lot about the others for that matter.

I went for Bristol mainly as it was the only place I actually wanted to go and the support that they offered to give me
