Program Overview

The University of Worcester is a licenced provider of the Degree in Professional Policing, a programme validated and approved by the College of Policing. Policing is becoming a degree level profession and we offer this specific qualification to support the ‘pre-degree' (PPD) entry route into the Police Service in England and Wales (one of three entry routes). This degree programme meets the professional requirements for policing in the 21st century and is the recognised qualification for any student considering a ‘pre-degree’ route into the police service.

Though this degree is primarily designed for students wishing to pursue a career in the police service via the ‘Pre-Degree Route (PPD)’ the course is also suitable for students wishing to work in other related areas, for example; the National Crime Agency, probation service, military police, private security industry, civil service, local authority, banking and similar organisations where investigative or practical legal knowledge are required. The degree has a currency of 5 years following graduation, for recruitment in to policing via the PPD route.

Would strongly advice that students become familiar with the recruitment requirements and eligibility criteria for the police force to which they intend to apply to (those students wishing to become a police officer). Students should be aware of this separate employment criteria and note that entry requirements into a career in policing are subject to individual constabulary police recruitment processes, which includes vetting checks, application sift, assessment centre, final interview, medical and fitness. The degree programme will not be suitable for candidates whose sole ambition is to become a police officer, but for certain factors, will not be able to meet the eligibility criteria (e.g a conviction for certain criminal offences). Police forces also require a minimum education level of a level 2 qualification in English Language & Mathematics at a GCSE grade C or above, or grades 4-9.
