Course summary

The course has been designed to give each student various options for their future career in law enforcement. There are two themes running throughout the degree policing and intelligence.

This award is about ‘policing’ and ‘intelligence’ but not just the operational side to policing. Your programme of study will address a wide array of occupations beyond the police force which require graduates with an in depth knowledge of intelligence and analysis, forensic investigative skills, digital policing, knowledge of criminal law, knowledge of intelligence relating to various aspects of terrorism and counter terrorism, appreciation of mental health, cyber security and wider understanding of the social context in which policing is conducted.

The professionally focused nature of this programme is designed not only to provide knowledge and skills sufficient to gain employment in policing and other security and law enforcement areas, but to also establish a firm foundation upon which to build a career.

The course has been designed to give each student various options for their future career in law enforcement, allowing them to choose modules which have been developed by academics across the University. For example, criminology is the study of how crime is defined, why some people commit crime, what happens when they do, and the prevention and deterrence of criminal behaviour. The theories and practices of police investigation are central to this.

During the course, students will study criminological theories and gain an understanding of how to conduct inquiries to ascertain if an offence has been committed, to identify who is responsible, and to gather admissible evidence. In addition to these policing areas, optional modules have been included to allow students to follow specific ‘pathways’. Two specific routes are the ‘forensics’ pathway and a ‘cyber’ pathway students will be able to choose option modules at all three levels of their degree that will enable them to specialise in these fields.
