Policing Studies (Distance Learning)

About your course Liverpool Centre for Advanced Policing is a pioneering research centre for interdisciplinary law enforcement, and is licensed by the College of Policing to deliver degree programmes included in the Police Education Qualification Framework.

If you have always wanted to study for a degree but didn’t want to give up your job to study, Liverpool John Moores University is offering a two-year BA (Hons) in Policing Studies degree, which can be studied part-time and totally online as distance learning, delivered via the LJMU Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) ‘Canvas’.

The degree will take you on a critical exploration of policing, encouraging you to reflect on the contemporary challenges within policing and investigation. The course’s innovative and thought-provoking modules both reflect and challenge current policing practices and will act as continuing professional development for serving police officers and support staff.

The course is designed to develop students for careers in policing and law enforcement, security and other allied professions and is ideal for current holders of the Foundation Degree in Policing and acts as a ‘top-up’ in those circumstances.
