... University of Chester

Course Overview

Studying our course, you will cover all the learning content of the College of Policing’s Degree in Professional Policing, as well as receive additional detailed inputs on specialist subjects such as Counter Terrorism and Digital Crime. In essence, you will get a grounded knowledge of the key aspects of policing, for example, legislation and police powers, and investigative interviewing skills.

Our excellent simulation facilities for role-play scenarios will allow you to put your knowledge into practice in a safe learning environment. Our Policing Skills Labs comprise an immersive learning suite, interview rooms, crime scene houses, road policing scenarios, a custody officer, and a mock courtroom, all of which add to your learning experience. Our small class sizes mean we get to know you well, and the pastoral care afforded by the teaching team is excellent, recognized in our National Student Survey results.

Our teaching team includes ex-police officers with many years of professional knowledge and experience in a wide variety of policing disciplines, supported by a host of subject-matter experts from the world of law enforcement and the criminal justice system.

Through our relationships with police colleagues, we can help you obtain an opportunity to apply to be a special constable, allowing you to put your knowledge and skills into practice with on-the-job experience, and providing evidence to support your CV.
