Summary
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. Modular (flexible) students - Some postgraduate taught and MRes programmes are available on a modular basis. Modular study lasts between 2 and 5 years. This is different to a part-time study which lasts for a fixed period.
