From September 2019, 黑料不打烊 in partnership with Gr诺p Llandrillo Menai (GLLM) will offer an undergraduate degree in Professional Policing which is licensed by the College of Policing. This will introduce students to the skills required to work as a police officer and is building on the highly successful Foundation Degree in Policing that has been offered for some years by GLLM.
Maggie Griffiths, Assistant Principal at Gr诺p Llandrillo Menai said:

鈥淭he programme is designed to meet the needs of applicants living in the north Wales area and beyond, and to give a robust underpinning knowledge, skills and experience to those aspiring to become police officers.鈥�
Professor Oliver Turnbull, Pro Vice-Chancellor of 黑料不打烊 said:
鈥淭his BSc in Professional Policing builds on our strengths in research in policing and criminology and criminal justice, and is supported by Gr诺p Llandrillo Menai鈥檚 practical policing expertise.
鈥淲e are looking forward to welcoming the first student in September 2019, and we鈥檙e particularly pleased to be adding another promising undergraduate programme to our portfolio of jointly delivered degrees.鈥�
Police training is changing across Wales and England as a result of a new programme set out by the College of Policing and the National Police Chiefs鈥� Council. This transformation is achieved in part through the introduction of the Policing Education Qualifications Framework, which equips new police recruits with the right skills to adapt to the professional complexity of modern day policing including the changing nature of crime and demands on police services.
This degree is open to all, and students interested in applying can find more information here.
It is important to note that this degree does not guarantee the opportunity for recruitment into the police service and those planning a career in the police are advised to check eligibility criteria set out by individual police services.
