Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Police Studies, Procedure and Investigation

Program Overview

Our Police Studies, Procedure and Investigation BSc course will provide you with a thorough understanding of the role of the modern police service. It will enable you to gain a wide range of knowledge about police investigation techniques and the skills that are required to become a police officer. The course offers the opportunity to train as a special constable and gain valuable work experience in the policing sector.

Policing in the UK is undergoing some of the most radical changes since Sir Robert Peel first launched the Metropolitan Police in 1829. The challenges that the modern day policing practitioner faces are often high risk and fast moving in a context of increasing accountability. There’s now a strong professional commitment at a senior level, which openly encourages policing practitioners to develop to a degree level.

This unique course in our criminology subject cluster is focused on preparing you to become a senior member of the police force. Building upon both practical and theoretical insights, the course will develop your knowledge across a wide range of policing contexts. It’ll also encourage critical and analytical thinking, whilst preparing you for a role in twenty-first century policing.

This course promotes expertise, understanding and good practice amongst policing practitioners. We often hold academic events and conferences that influence debate into policing practice, such as our recent symposium where Dr Neville Lawrence was joined by Metropolitan Police Commissioner Cressida Dick to discuss hate crime, community policing and knife crime. When you join London Met to study policing, you’ll learn in an academic environment that works closely with the local community and influences policy making.

Lecturers on this degree have significant experience of working in the police service and are distinguished academics engaged in important links into police practice. We have strong links with the City of London Police, the Metropolitan Police Service, British Transport Police and the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime.
