Course summary

The growth in policing and investigation as an area of criminal justice work is now broader than just the police service. Our Policing and Investigation BSc(Hons) course gives you the opportunity to critically explore and assess the nature and use of policing and investigatory work in a variety of social contexts. Key to the learning strategy is active and engaging debate around policing and investigation work, the historical and social context within which that work takes place, and its effectiveness in responding to contemporary crime challenges. This course is not accredited through the College of Policing and is not a ‘pre-join degree’ programme allowing direct entry into the police. It does prepare you well for one of the level 6 ‘top-up’ direct entry degrees that can be undertaken if you have already been awarded a degree and meet police entry requirements. If you're interested in one of the entry routes into policing, please visit the College of Policing website.
