Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Professional Policing

Program Overview

Whilst this course does not guarantee you employment, it will prepare you for a career as a police officer, providing you with a strong theoretical, methodological, and ethical understanding of policing. We are working with West Yorkshire Police (WYP), our local force, in developing opportunities around the Special Constabulary and other volunteering roles in WYP, as well as working with departments across the university to provide opportunities for more practical-based exercises, for example involving students and staff from Paramedic studies, Nursing, Law, and Social Work. Understanding the importance of working in partnership with other professionals will assist in your application to become a police officer.

On successful completion of this course and successful application to a police force, you’ll be able to concentrate on your professional police training during your two years as a probationer without the need for further study. So, if you are interested in a career in policing then this course could be for you.

What does the study of the course involve?

Under the current PEQF routes there is a requirement in England and Wales for all new police officers to hold a degree level qualification prior to qualifying as a police officer. Our close links with local police services provides the opportunity for you to gain an insight into the role and first-hand experience.

The course has been designed for those who have an interest in learning about the law and working with people. There have been many situations, where harm has come to vulnerable people such as children, those with learning difficulties, physical or mental health issues, older adults and people involved in domestic violence. Maintaining the law is one aspect of policing and protecting the public, particularly the vulnerable is another. Some of the issues raised by these situations concern how individuals from different professions or disciplines work together, communicate with each other, and understand each other’s roles and responsibilities. This course will help you to understand the law, how to work with others and to protect the public.
