MSc Strategic Leadership in Emergency Services and Law Enforcement

... United Kingdom
... Edge Hill University

Course Overview

Learn to lead responses to serious and critical incidents. Discover the challenges and complexities of working in this area. Understand the legal requirements in place and the responsibilities you’ll have as a leader.

Designed and delivered by former senior professional police officers and academic experts, this taught master provides a practical and theoretical approach to the ever-increasing complexities of strategic leadership. Learn through roleplay and problem-solving exercises to explore real-life scenarios.

We’ll cover how to manage to compete for operational and organizational demands, as well as the wider strategic implications of critical and major incident management. At the same time, you’ll develop knowledge of advanced research methods and transferable skills to help you stand out after you graduate.

Being able to make decisions while under pressure will also be key. To prepare you for this part of working in the police, you’ll learn to respond to intense situations in a safe space – our brand new Immersive Simulation Suite.

General Eligibility

You should have a degree equivalent to UK first-class or second-class honors (2:2 or above) in a relevant subject.

Relevant professional qualifications and/or appropriate work experience will also be considered. This will allow for the recruitment of current police officers, police staff, and staff from other law enforcement agencies with significant related work experience.

For applicants who don’t have a second-class honors degree, an interview will usually form part of the selection process.
