Bsc (Hons) Professional Policing (with Foundation Year)
Our degree in Professional Policing will provide you with a professional knowledge of the ethics, skills and attitudes that are critical to twenty-first century policing. The course has been designed to meet the requirements of the College of Policing National Curriculum for the role of a Police Constable under the National Policing Education Qualifications Framework. We are licensed by the College of Policing to offer the Pre-join Degree in Professional Policing - a qualification recognised by police services that is achieved prior to recruitment.
You will study a range of key topics in the area of crime, criminology, law, terrorism, associated psychology, sociology and criminal investigation. You will also learn through realistic scenarios and the use of a crime suite. Optional modules will provide an opportunity to look deeper into issues such as Forensic and Criminal Psychology, Zemiology (the study of social harms), Cybercrime, and Youth & Crime.
The degree will provide you with all of the knowledge required prior to joining the police force and will also be of interest if you are looking to study at the Masters level or work in the wider security and criminal justice sector.
The first year is a Foundation year in which you will study alongside our LLB (Law) students and is taught by our law tutors. The year focuses on developing the key skills required to undertake a degree-level study. The subsequent three years then follow our full-time BSc (Hons) Professional Policing degree course.
