Your future career

Whether you are planning a career in the criminal justice system, policing or a career in another field of expertise, our BSc Professional Policing programme will develop your transferable skills and inspire you to reach your career goals.

Recent Edge Hill Professional Policing students have gone on to have a wide variety of successful careers including: police officers in Forces across England and Wales; positions with the British Transport Police and the Civil Nuclear Constabulary; Policing and Law Enforcement Analysts; roles in Public Protection and Child and Youth Services and criminal and youth justice charities; for HM Prisons and Probation Service; and graduate training schemes in companies like Enterprise Cars.

If you are wishing to pursue a career in policing, whilst successful completion of this programme does not guarantee recruitment to a police force in England and Wales, the degree will greatly enhance your prospects in securing a role as a police constable via the College of Policing’s dedicated Pre-Join route. The programme has a currency of five years following graduation for recruitment into policing.
