Overview

With access to first-class facilities and taught by experts with real-world policing experience, you’ll graduate ready to take the next step in your policing journey. The degree has a currency of five years following graduation for recruitment into policing.

Successful completion of the Professional Policing (Hons) (with Foundation Year) degree from Teesside University cannot guarantee your recruitment to the police service. Each force has its own requirements so please refer to the College of Policing website which outlines the official police recruitment processes, ie the Police SEARCH® or Day One Recruit Assessment Centre.

Career opportunities

You will have the required knowledge and understanding to apply to be employed as a police officer, police staff (such as civilian investigators, detention officers), or within the military police.

All programmes are designed to incorporate employability skills development alongside your degree course. The staff utilise their extensive connections to provide many and varied opportunities to engage with potential employers through fairs, guest lecture sessions, live projects and site visits. In addition we offer a series of workshops and events in the first, second and third year that ensure all students are equipped with both degree level subject knowledge PLUS the practical skills that employers are looking for in new graduate recruits.
