Course summary

Wherever your interests in these areas lie, our BSc (Hons) Policing and Criminal Justice degree has been designed to equip you with the vital knowledge, understanding and skills to prepare you for a future career in these fields.
Preventing and reducing crime is not the responsibility of one person, but many. The ongoing work of core agencies in the criminal justice system is essential to managing crime, assessing risk and safeguarding potential victims. You could be part of that.
We pride ourselves on providing not only an excellent academic experience but also a supportive environment where you can thrive. Gaining a thorough grounding in the legislation, policies and mechanisms that are designed to manage offenders and protect the public, you’ll benefit from a curriculum influenced by highly-qualified and experienced professionals in policing and related agencies. Optional modules will enable you to tailor your learning journey to your specific interests and career aspirations.
Our programme also offers a range of additional opportunities to support your interests in different career pathways. As well as access to a broad range of extra-curricular activities, we’ll provide you with the opportunity to apply your learning and develop your employability skills through approved work placements.
Whichever direction your studies take you, you’ll graduate with a firm footing in the world of policing and criminal justice and the knowledge, skills and professional attributes that employers value.
