MSc Policing and Law Enforcement Investigation

To prepare you for your future in investigations, we’ll focus on building the practical and theoretical skills you need. This involves exploring the strategies within investigation plans, including forensics, witnesses, and scene management.

Shape your policing and law enforcement studies with opportunities to explore different areas. Choose from the use of intelligence in reactive and proactive investigations, disclosure and digital policing, and cybercrime.

At the same time as boosting your expertise, you’ll develop sought-after advanced research skills. Employers will also value your other transferrable skills in communication, critical analysis, time management, teamwork, and problem-solving.

You should have a degree equivalent to UK first-class or second-class honors (2:2 or above) in a relevant subject.

Relevant professional qualifications and/or appropriate work experience will also be considered. This will allow for the recruitment of current police officers, police staff, and staff from other law enforcement agencies with significant related work experience.

For applicants who don’t have a second-class honors degree, an interview will usually form part of the selection process.
