Overview

The Policing and Criminal Investigation (Hons) course offered at Staffordshire University will equip you with a high level of investigative expertise and policing knowledge.

In your first year, you will develop both policing and forensic skills. In particular, you’ll take a closer look at police powers including: the power of arrest and searching individuals and property, the importance of evaluating and assessing a crime scene, how recovered evidence can drive an investigation, and the science involved in the analysis of evidential samples.

In Year 2, we put a greater emphasis on improving your investigative skills and case file preparation techniques. You will deal with persons in custody and will have the opportunity to interview potential suspects, witnesses and victims.

Careers

Graduates typically pursue work in areas such as the police, the Independent Police Complaints Commission, the Federation against Copyright Theft, the Surveillance Commission, as well as other organisations with investigative requirements. Although the integrated MSci is a new undergraduate course, graduates can expect to obtain similar career pathways as BSc (Hons) graduates, including teaching and progression to PhD level study.
