Students who wish to join a police force, following successful completion of this programme, will need to meet the specific attributes required for admission to the chosen police service.

<ul>

</ul>
                demonstrate the potential for successfully completing degree level work. This will normally take the form of an appropriate Access or similar qualification but exceptionally students will be permitted to enter the course because they can convince admissions tutors of their capacity for advanced study. This will normally be achieved through a conditional offer being made, subject to the successful completion of the summer school programme which prepares students for further study. The University encourages applications from non-school and college leavers. We recognise that some applicants will offer a range of experience and perhaps non-traditional qualifications, which will be taken into account when the application is considered. Each application will be considered on its individual merits.
