Policing FdSc

Thinking of a career as a police officer? This challenging yet rewarding two-year Foundation Degree will give you a real-life introduction to operational policing after assisting you to become a Special Constable. Developed in partnership with Lancashire Constabulary, the programme is also supported by the British Transport Police North West and North East regions. You’ll gain all the necessary knowledge, practical experience, vocational and key skills to meet the operational requirements of the police service. Containing the equivalent of the Initial Police Learning and Development Programme which all new police recruits have to complete, you’ll finalise your degree with a 10-week work placement in a police division. Here you’ll undertake full operational police duties alongside regular officers who assess your ability to perform the duties of a police officer and whether you are ‘fit for independent patrol’ at the standard of a regular constable.
