Police forces face an ever-evolving array of complex crime challenges and ethical responsibilities, while making sure their actions can withstand increasing public scrutiny. Our Policing MSc will help you rise to these challenges, using scientific methods and evidence-based approaches to protect life and property, preserve order and uphold justice.
Build a comprehensive set of 21st-century policing skills with this multidisciplinary data-driven Policing MSc. This course has been co-designed by leading academics and law enforcement, counterterrorism and intelligence agency practitioners and draws directly from today’s most pressing issues in the field.
On this programme, you will develop an advanced toolkit of research design and statistical analysis techniques that will allow you to solve real-world problems and security issues using data.
Working alongside a diverse group of peers from all kinds of professional and academic backgrounds, you will acquire an expert understanding of how crime reduction policing models, such as problem-oriented or intelligence-led policing, are used by law enforcement agencies across the world.
Applicants should have, or expect to obtain before entry, a lower second-class Bachelor’s degree in a relevant discipline (e.g. criminology, psychology, sociology, law, geography or hard science) from a UK university or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard. Candidates who have at least five years' relevant professional experience are also eligible. In exceptional circumstances, students who do not fulfil these requirements may be considered.
