Professional Policing Practice (Police Constable Degree
Apprenticeship)BSc (Hons)
Course overview
The police constable degree apprentice aims to produce student police officers who are future ready, socially and ethically engaged, research active, globally connected and digitally empowered.
You gain comprehensive knowledge and understanding of professional policing, and a range of practical and key transferable skills required for your role as a police officer.
You will also:
- meet the professional requirements of today’s policing
- champion a values-based, ethical approach to policing
- develop a high-quality, evidence-based education for the policing profession
- promote a collaborative approach to education within the police service
- enable continuing professional development in policing roles.
All content is aligned to the relevant elements of the National Policing Curriculum. Course modules are delivered using a collaborative approach between Teesside University and Cleveland Police including trainers, operational officers (practitioners) and tutors. Learning in the workplace will be supported primarily by police practitioners, with additional academic tutor support, and regular tutorial meetings.
Recruitment to join this course is undertaken in partnership between Teesside University and Cleveland Police. The first step of this process is to apply to Cleveland Police, not the University.
Work placement
Workplace learning is presented at different levels. In Year 1 your initial operational duties are closely supported by the tutoring processes. As a student police officer you observe a tutor modelling practice in the first instance, then demonstrate your learning while being observed by the tutor, ultimately operating as an independent police officer. Guided reflective practice will support your development. In Year 2 you undertake five deployments in the policing practice areas of:
- response
- community
- roads
- information and intelligence
- conducting investigations.
These deployments will be supported in the workplace by tutors and interspersed with blocks of classroom learning, and more specialist knowledge.
My name is Kavisha Prince Anthony, and I always had a dream of studying abroad. Thankfully, that dream came to life since I applied to the Study Advisor. I was able to receive my visa within four days. I also had some visa refusals in the past; I had about six UK visa refusals in the past, but thankfully, it was not an issue since the Study Advisor was able to make things work this time. I highly recommend Study Advisor for your dreams of going abroad, whether it be the UK or any other European country there is.
