• Applicants are asked to submit a personal statement with their application. A good personal statement explains why you want to do this course, why you want to do it now, and what skills you already have that will help you complete the course successfully. A demonstration of an awareness of the demands of the course (intellectually and in terms of the time commitment) is also of benefit to those reviewing your application.

The cost of studying at University of Salford varies largely depending on the type of university and the degree chosen. More often than not, humanities, arts, and education courses are less expensive than degrees in medical, engineering, or management. Furthermore, students who choose to study at the postgraduate level typically pay higher tuition fees, which again vary depending on the programme chosen.

Most universities provide scholarships or financial aid to students in order to help them offset their tuition costs. Students should be aware that additional course fees and incidental expenses may not be included in tuition. On average, international students can expect to pay £16,380 annually, to study in University of Salford.

Whether you’re interested in a role in the civil service, armed forces, intelligence agencies, police forces, private security companies, research institutions, government organisations or the media, you’ll be able to show off your ability to academically engage with important topics, and to discuss the research you’ve undertaken while completing your professional qualification. 
 

Graduates of this course have progressed to careers within Greater Manchester Police, the Home Office, the Lancashire Police Counter Terrorism Branch, the security services of other countries, IT companies in the United States as well as international organisations such as the Strategic Police Matters Unit at the Organisation for Security and Co-Operation in Europe (OSCE).
