Our BSc (Hons) Professional Policing courses have been developed by staff with decades of experience in the police force. Every aspect of the training has been created by the College of Policing, working with forces and serving police officers. The police courses follow the National Policing Curriculum and provide you with the skills and knowledge to apply to become a police officer.

 

You can choose to study BSc (Hons) Professional Policing on our two-year accelerated route, a fast track option to your career in policing. In just two years, you will be equipped to meet all the responsibilities and challenges to apply for a rewarding career in policing. 

 

Please ensure you use the correct UCAS code when applying:

 

BSc (Hons) Professional Policing (UCAS code P1P2)
BSc (Hons) Professional Policing (Accelerated) (UCAS code P1P3)

 

The BSc (Hons) Professional Policing courses cover the National Police Curriculum in a practical and relevant way. You will learn the underpinning theories in criminology and the processes of criminal justice, but you will also be given specialist tuition from former police officers in the core areas of conducting effective investigations, policing communities, policing the roads, information and intelligence, and response policing.

 

The two-year accelerated route has been designed to be taught alongside the three-year version of the policing degree for the first two semesters, thereby offering you the ability to transfer between routes to suit your circumstances.

 

You will also benefit from support through your own personal tutor, an academic with policing experience who will provide advice and mentoring throughout the course.

 

Your progress will be assessed through essays, reports, group work, seminar presentations, and self-evaluation.
