Summary
Already a police officer or member of police staff? Working within a law enforcement agency? Or keen to kickstart your career in law enforcement? We’ve designed this course for anyone who wants to take charge of investigations, perform lead roles in intelligence and play a key role in tackling crime across the UK.
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 optional modules that include; disclosure, cybercrime – detection investigation and enforcement, public protection, vulnerability and risk, and forensic opportunities in investigation.
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.
What you'll study
On our MSc Policing and Law Enforcement Investigation course, you’ll explore the processes, legal requirements, policies and regulatory frameworks that apply to different stages of investigations into serious and complex cases.
We’ll discuss policing and law enforcement topics such as the management of investigations, the ethical issues and evidence based practice that apply to investigation and the use of intelligence in both reactive and proactive investigation. All of this will develop your specialist knowledge and advance your understanding of research. You can focus on specific types of investigations, or certain aspects or stages of an investigation with optional modules in semester 2. Choose from a range of areas including cybercrime, disclosure, public protection, vulnerability and risk and forensic opportunities in investigation.
Students who wish to study on a part time basis will take the same modules but over a 2 year period.
| Level | RQF Level 7 |
|---|---|
| Entry requirements | You should have a degree equivalent to UK first-class or second-class honours (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 honours degree, an interview will usually form part of the selection process. |
