BSc (Hons) Professional Policing

The police constable is the heartbeat of effective policing and this degree will give you all the knowledge required to start a career in this role.

This College of Policing accredited course offers a policing standard, knowledge-based examination of policing challenges and criminal justice processes and will help you to be able to make an informed choice about your future career destination within policing.

Policing is undergoing significant transformation, with many professional challenges. The College of Policing has indicated the qualifications to be a police officer include having a recognised apprenticeship or a degree, and our Professional Policing degree meets the requirements for the latter of these choices. Upon graduating from this degree, you’ll be able to join any police force in England and Wales within 5 years to put into practice the knowledge that you have learnt throughout your time with us.

As well as being a great fit for those wanting to move into a police constable role, this course would also suit those who have an interest in other areas within the police force or wider law enforcement. If throughout your studies you realise being a police officer is not the right career for you, you’ll have the opportunity to swap to our Police Studies with Criminal Investigation degree which takes a broader study of policing and the wider criminal justice system.

This course is also offered as a four-year programme, including an initial Foundation Year. The Foundation Year will allow you to develop your academic study skills and build confidence in your abilities, identifying your own strengths and development needs for progression onto an undergraduate programme.
