Policing and Applied Criminal Investigations BSc (Hons)

Whether working in the private security sector, as part of a legal team or within policing, many roles now require the technical skills and legal knowledge you gain from this employment-focused degree. You develop specific skills in investigations, interviewing, managing evidence and building a case while gaining the enquiring mindset and analytical abilities you need to work across a range of areas related to policing and criminal investigations. By the end of the course, you will have a solid grasp of the investigation process and how to use the legal framework, ensuring you can hit the ground running in a fast-paced work environment. We have robust associations with criminal justice stakeholders, local councils, companies, and voluntary sector and practitioners, which open up opportunities for volunteering and work placements in the community or in practice. We also have strong links with Bedfordshire and Thames Valley police forces offering opportunities for placements within their service. The course has been developed and is taught by retired police officers with an extensive professional background in policing and investigations. Take up opportunities for volunteering, placement and work-based learning on a course that blends practical and scenario-based learning with theory.
