Why MSc Applied Policing Practice? 

The MSc in Applied Policing Practice is offered to police officers and staff of all ranks and roles in related occupations.The demand on the police service is becoming increasingly more complex and the issues involved require a wider knowledge base and new skill sets to address them effectively. This programme supports students in developing their knowledge and their research interests.

Key to this programme is also leadership and management which is critical to the success of any police reform and local organisational change programme.

Our new programme will be based around building new postgraduate ‘policing themes’ that can be adapted to deliver the most contemporaneous issues in crime, policing and the criminal justice system then, just as quickly, respond tonew reforms or challenges that mayconfront the police/criminal justice system in the future.

Who is this course for?

The completion of this programme is partly reliant on the ability to think about the learning provided on the course in the context of practical work. The programme is aimed at both serving officers and staff with relevant experience and also students who have a relevant academic background. Where possible for non-police students it would be beneficial to have a voluntary or paid role in a relevant field. 

What will i study?

We are determined to make the programme for and about the student's own place work / area of interest and the occupational challenges they face within their own local context. Therefore, much of the study experience will be about reflective practice supported by theory and relevant academic input from us. We expect, then, that a significant amount of the study programme will be through the delivery of four modules (dependant on which post graduate option the student chooses to take):

• Organisation, development and leadership: Leadership, management, decision making and reform.
• Evidence based Interventions: Evidence based policing, evaluation and the use of research in problem solving.
• Action research and research methodology. These two modules will provide the opportunity to learn about different research approaches and the issues around applying them in the workplace.
• Year two will focus on the completion of a dissertation with one to one support from a supervisor. This will utilise the skills students glean from the research methods module and provide some useful local research for the force area.
