Career
Careers / Further study
As an established and respected provider of policing education, UWE Bristol offers three licensed police entry routes. Our Professional Policing degree will provide you with knowledge relevant to policing roles, ahead of completing the operational training you'll need for employment in the police force.
Through studying a range of core subjects, from counter terrorism to response policing, you'll delve into the complex role of a Police Officer. Gain the academic skills and knowledge you'll apply to professional practice, such as research, communication and problem solving.
By the end of the course, you'll graduate with a professional policing degree that's licensed by the College of Policing. This accreditation will enable you to apply for roles in any national police force area in the UK, within five years of graduation.
Subject to local vetting procedures, if you're successful in finding employment within the police force, you'll learn the hands-on aspects of policing on the job. You'll develop your practical skills once you're in the role, enabling you to apply the theory you've learned through your degree.
By studying Professional Policing, you'll be qualified to enter various other careers within the criminal justice sector and beyond. While many of our graduates will go on to become a police officer, you could also take on a role as police staff, work in prisons or for another criminal justice agency, charity or social enterprise.
Benefit from a range of professional opportunities throughout your policing degree. Thanks to UWE Bristol's established industry links with Avon and Somerset Constabulary, you'll have a chance to collaborate with other police officers in practice. These connections present potential opportunities for placements, summer internships, voluntary policing work and mentoring, supporting your progression throughout your learning journey.
