Summary

The MA Professional Investigative Practice is designed for officers in senior investigative roles, particularly those involved in or preparing for PIP 3 under the Professionalising Investigation Programme (PIP) framework.

This course supports the continuing professional development of police officers, enabling them to refine their investigative skills and leadership capabilities.

Students who have achieved PIP 3 may gain Recognition of Certificated Prior Learning (RPCL), allowing them to fast-track up to 80 credits of the course. Those working towards PIP 3 will engage in tailored modules designed to build the skills and knowledge necessary for success. The programme supports the College of Policing’s mission to enhance the professionalism of the police service by fostering theory and practice integration.

This Master’s degree offers opportunities for police upskilling through critical study and research, culminating in a dissertation that enhances expertise in tackling complex investigations and leadership in the evolving field of policing. It provides pathways to contribute to areas such as intelligence and professional practice, empowering officers to take on greater responsibilities within the legal and justice system.
