Professional Policing (with Foundation Year)

About this course

Professional policing is a degree designed to prepare you for a career in the police service by combining the academic rigour of a social science education with the professional knowledge and skills that policing demands. It is a discipline that takes the question of how societies maintain order, prevent crime, and deliver justice with the seriousness it deserves, drawing on criminology, sociology, law, psychology, and ethics to develop graduates who understand policing not just as a set of practical procedures but as a profession embedded in complex social and political realities. At Teesside University, this four-year full-time programme begins with a foundation year that introduces the historical and contemporary development of social science disciplines, provides grounding in research methods and ethical principles, and develops the academic and transferable skills needed to succeed
