Policing BSc
Policing occurs in a highly complex, contested and changeable world. The role of the police in responding to crime and disorder has fundamental consequences for individuals, communities and populations. Yet much of the activity of the police is hidden from public view. Through research-led teaching, the BSc Policing enables you to uncover the realities of police work, explore the tensions and complexities of policing and challenge conventional assumptions of the role of the police.
This course is designed to enable a smooth transition to higher education, providing you with full study skills support and a comprehensive research methods programme which will enable you to complete a research project of your own in your final year. The degree offers flexibility and choice with a range of option modules for you to choose from. The curriculum includes a three-year careers and employability programme, giving you the opportunity to develop the skills you'll need for graduate jobs.
The BSc Policing is delivered within the School of Criminology, ensuring that you benefit from a broad and interdisciplinary degree delivered by leading experts in criminology and specialists in policing. Our research in the School of Criminology has real impact in wider society, and it influences policy and practice on matters relating to policing, crime, deviance and victimisation. We also have strong links with local constabularies and our BSc Policing includes opportunities in each year for practical experience and insight into policing. Students may have the opportunity to experience our Policing Insight days, field trips, examples of policing in practice in our unique crime scene room and interview room, lectures from policing experts and practitioners, and mentoring and placement opportunities.
