Course Overview

Explore and analyse areas critical to policing and investigation – such as criminal justice, the legal system and public protection – that you can use to:

  • qualify for the degree-holder entry programme to the police service in England or Wales

  • level up from your current role in the police to a senior or specialised role

  • turn a general interest in policing into academic and professional expertise in policing and criminal investigation

This BSc (Hons) Policing and Investigation degree course is a part-time, distance learning course, which you can study around your other commitments, anywhere that suits you.

If you're planning a career in policing and related areas (such as investigative criminal profiling, police oversight bodies, or financial investigation in banking), you'll develop the practical skills you'll need in your future career. 

If you’re already a serving police officer, you'll specialise in areas that could enhance your contribution to your organisation, increasing your potential to level up in a new role and achieve a higher salary.

General Eligibility

  • There are no specific qualification requirements. We will assess your application on its own merits.

  • Applicants without Level 3 qualifications will need to produce a short written artefact to better assist the course leader as to the suitability of the applicant.

Part Time Work Details

20 Hours of Work permit weekly for international students.

Language Requirement

  • The IELTS score for international applicants is 6.0 (with no less than 5.5 in each component).
