BSc (Hons) Professional Policing

Policing is undergoing far-reaching transformations in terms of rapidly changing crime types, diverse public expectations, and technological developments that will continue to alter the ways in which policing is done. Our exciting new degree program in Policing will offer a unique insight into contemporary law enforcement, the role of the Police in society, and the challenges they face. Key to the transformation of policing is the better development and application of research evidence, science, and analysis to generate new approaches to established and emerging law enforcement activity. The BSc in Professional Policing at Northumbria University is a research-rich program that draws from criminology, law, forensic science, fraud management and investigation, and cybercrime. You will learn from the experts, from a range of subject-area backgrounds, about the future challenges facing contemporary policing and the innovative responses being developed to address them. The policing degree will address critical questions that span expertise in Social Sciences, Law, Psychology, and Business allowing you to explore problems not only from a criminological, but also a sociological, legal and cultural perspective relating to the role, function, and philosophical approaches to policing.
