    We are officially licensed and approved by the College of Policing. We also have a long-standing reputation for top quality policing degrees. This is due to our high levels of professional experience and expertise.

These include response policing, policing communities, policing the roads, intelligence and conducting investigations. You’ll also build skills in evidence-based policing and decision-making. Plus, you'll explore modern topics such as vulnerability and risk, digital policing, inclusion and counter terrorism.

    We have exceptional learning facilities at the university. These include mock crime scenes and a simulated control room suite. This means you will have the chance to build practical skills which you can carry through into your career in the police.

    This course is delivered in block learning. You’ll study one module at a time, meaning you can focus on one topic before moving on to the next one. This also makes your timetable more efficient with fewer gaps between sessions. Delivering the course this way helps you manage your work and life commitments around your studies.
