Course Overview

This degree, validated by the College of Policing, continues to build on these years of experience to deliver a course that meets the changing nature of crime and the profession.

The course thoroughly embeds the current National Policing Curriculum, allowing you to develop a strong grounding in the theory and practice of policing, crime, and the criminal justice system. You will be able to explore the diversity of the police role and gain practical experience through volunteering opportunities, giving you a great start to your career.

Our dedicated and experienced staff will support your development into a skilled professional who meets the pre-join requirement for the role of Police Constable or is able to utilize the knowledge and experience gained to join emerging careers in the criminal justice, intelligence, and security fields, to name but a few.

BSc (Hons) Policing has been designed to prepare you for a policing career that is becoming ever more specialist. Private policing is expanding and public policing is going through a dynamic professionalization process. The BSc (Hons) Policing offers a comprehensive response to all three developments. However, if you do not want a career in Policing, you will also be able to use the knowledge from the course towards other careers in law enforcement.
