Overview

Police Officers in England and Wales are now required to hold a professional policing qualification. This degree is delivered under licence from the College of Policing and follows the National Policing Curriculum. Studying on it will put you in the best possible position to apply for the Police Service’s pre-join programme when you graduate. All of your modules will be delivered by experienced police professionals. We will introduce you to the policing profession through the study of:

Law

Policy and procedure

Criminal justice

Crime and deviance

Global policing issues

Together we will confront some of the biggest issues facing the police service today, both in the UK and beyond. You will also consider how crime, policy, social inequalities and divisions can impact upon our understanding of policing.

Career

This Professional Policing (Hons) degree programme from York St John University will also give you the academic and life skills you need to contribute to a modern police service. You will study modules drawn directly from the College of Policing's national pre-join curriculum.

While successful completion of the course does not guarantee you a position in the Police Service, and you will still need to complete their application process, it will put you in a very strong position when you apply.
