This police course is designed to meet all the core requirements of the National Police Curriculum for the College of Policing's pre-join degree in Professional Policing.Modern policing is facing new professional challenges and the communities served by the police are increasingly diverse and complex, with differing needs and priorities. The nature of crime is also evolving. The constable role sits at the heart of effective professional policing. This pre-join degree aims to equip you with the knowledge, skills and experience required for the police constable role. It aims to develop high levels of professional knowledge and skills across a range of complex and challenging situations and contexts, as well as demonstration of appropriate behaviours congruent with effective and appropriate front-line policing. 

The Cardiff Met BA (Hons) Professional Policing will help prepare you for a career as a police officer.The Professional Policing degree is one of the recognised routes to becoming a police constable. While successful completion of the degree will not guarantee you entry into the police force, if you are subsequently accepted by the police (during a five year period after graduation) you will benefit from a shorter on-the-job training programme. Graduates will also need to meet the specified fitness, medical and other recruitment requirements of your chosen police force. A successful recruit to the police service via this entry route is subject to a two-year probationary period as specified in Police Regulations.
