Overview

Professional Policing (Hons) from University of Chester is delivered by subject matter experts and experienced practitioners (including former police officers) with a wealth of subject and operational expertise to prepare you with the key transferable skills required for the role of police constable.

On the course, you will cover all the learning content of the College of Policing’s Degree in Professional Policing, as well as receive additional detailed inputs on specialist subjects like public protection and digital crime. You will gain a grounded knowledge of the key aspects of policing, such as legislation, police powers and investigative interviewing skills.

Career:

This degree is a recognised entry route into English and Wales police forces and graduates need to apply to a police force within five years of graduation. The successful completion of this degree does not necessarily guarantee recruitment to a police force and is subject to police force recruitment and selection processes, including background checks and medical and fitness criteria. The University of Chester has an exciting specific entry route into Cheshire Police, whereby students who are a Special Constable within that force – subject to certain criteria and meeting aspects of the selection process, such as vetting and medical/fitness standards – will not have an interview as part of the process or have to complete any further training from the police constable entry route.
