Course summary
We are the only Scottish University offering a full degree programme in Policing and Criminology. Our Policing and Criminology course allows you the opportunity to study a subject which is applied, equipping you with the knowledge and skills to become a reflective police officer or take on a broader criminal justice role. The course draws on social sciences, law, computing and business modules, and aims to give you an understanding of a discipline that is evolving theoretically and methodologically. It links theory to practice and seeks to apply learning in the field. You will also have a range of inputs from practitioners throughout the course. The course was developed with discussion and input from Police Scotland. Please visit our website for full course and module details.
