The course is designed for students who already have a Foundation Degree, HND, or other qualification in a subject such as criminology, uniformed public services or criminal justice and who want to follow a programme of study that takes specialist knowledge and skills to a level relevant for a graduate career in this area.
The assessment strategy is designed to ensure that learning outcomes are achieved and that knowledge and skills are developed.
The following assessment activities are used in this programme:
- Essays

In addition, students will be expected to undertake formative assessments, including presentations, guided learning tasks, and seminar participation.
- We use various assessments, simulations, and role plays as part of the assessment process to address challenging areas of practice. We share with critical friends how students can be supported throughout the course of the programme in their attempts to gain voluntary hours within the sector and how experts from the field will be involved in the delivery of the programme to provide students with real-life scenarios.
- Small class sizes and individual attention enable us to help students from all backgrounds gain the qualifications needed to maximise their higher education and career prospects.
