Study Policing at Leeds Trinity

Prepare for your career in the police or associated professions with a Policing degree at Leeds Trinity. 

Based at the Leeds City Campus, you’ll learn in specialist practical facilities including a moot courtroom, custody room and holding cell. 

You’ll learn from former police officers, criminal justice experts and researchers as you build the knowledge and skills you need to kickstart your career. 

Choosing your Policing degree 

At Leeds Trinity we offer two undergraduate policing degrees, so you can choose the right degree for your ambitions.  

If you are keen to begin a career in policing, our Professional Policing degree is licensed by the College of Policing as a pre-join degree entry route into policing.  

Alternatively, our Policing and Investigation degree includes professional work placements, preparing you for a career in the police or probation service, or an investigative career within government or other public or private sector organisations.
