Professional Policing (Hons) York St John University

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.
