Course summary
Course Overview
Are you interested in working in policing or the wider criminal justice system? If you’re good at problem solving and want to make a difference, there are lots of options open to you, both within and outside policing.
This degree allows you to study policing in depth, get tangible experience in the areas you are interested in, and see where your talents and interests lie.
Critically study policing
Throughout the course, you’ll learn about contemporary policing and criminal justice processes, with a particular focus on criminal investigation in England and Wales; Alongside operational policing, we’ll cover a wide range of areas such as the police use of firearms, the wide demands placed upon policing, miscarriages of justice, and major crime investigations; You’ll gain exposure to some of the real challenges facing policing today, exploring current reforms and what they mean, and looking at the importance of accountability, citizenship and ethics.
