Other requirements

General requirements

The course is designed to develop students for careers in policing and law enforcement, security and other allied professions and is ideal for current holders of the Foundation Degree in Policing and acts as a ‘top-up’ in those circumstances.
However, there are routes into the programme that cater for people without previous formal qualifications but possess relevant experience within policing; including support staff and they are actively encouraged to apply.
This process is called RPEL (recognition of previous experiential learning) and those applicants wishing to utilise this route will be required to supply relevant evidence that meet specific learning outcomes, but guidance will be provided from the programme leader.
