Your course is made up of a variety of core modules that work to improve expertise in the broader aspects of leadership in the police force, while giving you the option to specialise in specific areas through optional modules, depending on your interests or identified career needs.
Core modules will elevate your foundational knowledge of policing to an expert level, including modules in Ethical Policing and Organisational Legitimacy, 21st Century Police Leadership and Strategy and Applied Research in Policing. Your optional modules will give you the chance to explore avenues of interest to build your career skillset, including Diplomacy in Historical Focus, Change Leadership, Terrorism in the 21st Century, and more.
Your course will culminate in a final dissertation, negotiated with your tutor around your career aspirations and expertise.

Assessment
During your course you will undertake two different types of assessments, informal assessments (also known as formative) and formal (also known as summative). Your formative assessments are designed to enhance your engagement with the taught content of your modules and to prepare you for your summative assessments. They also provide you with the opportunity to receive feedback on your progress. Your summative assessments contribute towards your final grade and degree classification and will assess you based on the learning outcomes of your modules.
Your summative assessments could include a combination of written assignments, contributions to discussion boards, critical reviews, digital poster presentations and dissertations.
