Degree Holder Entry Programme

This course has been designed to prepare and shape police officers of the future, who will go on to have a positive impact on local communities and wider society. It is a level 6 qualification, which means it is the same standard as the final year of an undergraduate degree.

As you progress through the course you will develop the skills, knowledge and behaviours required of a police officer. Alongside this, you will engage with various relevant and contemporary issues relating to policing both in the UK and internationally. There will be a comprehensive package of support available to you as you study, which has been commended by the College of Policing.

To enrol on this course, you must apply through Humberside Police. You will earn a salary while you study. Successfully completing the course will mean you are awarded the Graduate Diploma in Professional Policing Practice and your position as a police officer with Humberside Police will be confirmed.
