Why choose Criminology with Policing and Investigations BSc at Middlesex?
This course opens up many fields of work and further study. It is ideal if you are interested in policing, but also if you aren't sure if you’d like to go into the field directly or might be interested in exploring other related fields.
This course is not a pre-join degree for the police service. However, the degree will allow you to apply for the accelerated Degree Holders Entry Programme, if you are interested in joining a UK police service after graduation. Many of our graduates have gone on to work for the Metropolitan Police. This course shares its core modules with our BSc Criminology degree and includes optional modules on contemporary policing issues.
What you will learn
One of the main strengths of our criminology degrees is that we ‘team-teach’ a number of our core and optional modules. Working together, you will learn together and experience different teaching styles throughout the course.
You will gain industry experience through field trips and an optional volunteering module that enables you to integrate your learning and development from that experience into your degree.
This course offers visits to criminal justice organisations, courts and prisons, as well as inviting industry-leading guest speakers to give you a well-rounded and practice-based course that will propel you into your chosen career.
