Course summary

Broaden your career scope by gaining high-level investigative skills underpinned by strong academic knowledge. This course equips you for an exciting future in fields such as civilian and corporate investigation, loss prevention, crime reduction and security as well as policing.You’ll gain advanced understanding of the investigation process, explore contemporary policing and deepen your understanding of criminology, forensics and sociology.‘Learn by doing’. Investigative work experience will be central to your studies: our links with employers like Nottinghamshire Police, NEXT PLC, the Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority (GLAA) and Rolls-Royce will open doors for you.You’ll gain unique insights into real-world practices from our experienced teaching team which includes former police detectives, criminal and corporate investigators.Our excellent learning facilities range from a replica courtroom and interview suite to a crime scene house.We equip you with highly transferable skills in loss prevention, investigatory practice and investigative interviewing which will give you a broad career scope. Because the degree is designed in close partnership with constabularies, it is an excellent stepping stone if you want to pursue a career in the policing family once you have graduated. You could, however, consider other roles in the broader criminal justice system, civilian investigation, retail investigation, business crime investigation, crime reduction partnerships, security and loss prevention.Our Careers and Employment Service will provide you with support from day one of your course to ensure you leave Derby as a ‘work-ready’ graduate – industry aware, motivated and enterprising. Throughout your studies, you’ll also benefit from our Personal Development Planning (PDP) scheme which enables you to reflect on your learning and develop your career ambitions.The support continues once you’ve completed your course too: you are entitled to further help and guidance from the Careers and Employment Service for up to three years after leaving the University.
