Discover Policing and Criminal Justice
Congratulations on your offer
We’re pleased to offer you a place on one of our Policing and Criminal Justice courses. As part of the School of Law and Criminal Justice, you’ll have the opportunity to study in a dynamic, relevant and professionally informed manner and in an engaging and supportive environment. Our teaching and student learning are informed by our cutting-edge, internationally recognised legal research.
Explore the criminal justice system, crime scene investigation, cybercrime and the treatment of offenders.
Joining our Policing and Criminal Justice programmes means you’re embarking on an immersive learning experience, with opportunities to put your learning into practice in our on-campus Moot Court Room.
Facilities
The £6m Law and Psychology building provides contemporary teaching and learning facilities for students in the School of Law and Criminal Justice.
The three-storey building includes a 265-seat lecture theatre, seminar and tutorial rooms, and social learning areas which encourage a more informal and interactive style of learning.
It is also where our moot courtroom and law clinic are located. Law, Policing and Criminal Justice students can train and practice their advocacy skills and cross-examination techniques as well as preparing for giving evidence in court.
Learn more by viewing our Virtual Open Day.
Prepare for your studies
Before starting your studies, you could:
- Keep up to date with current affairs. Try news websites and documentaries.
- Consider volunteering for a group that reflects your subject of interest
- See your subject in action – watch a Magistrates’, Country or Crown Court case from the public gallery
Supporting you
When you become a student here, you’ll be allocated a Personal Tutor. They will be your main source of support in your academic department. They’ll be with you as you progress throughout your degree, supporting you in three areas: professional/career-related support, pastoral support and signposting you to information you need. But they aren’t just there when you need support. They are also there to celebrate your successes, help with planning your progress and much more.
Meet our students
Come and join us in a dynamic and supportive environment of high-quality scholars and students. Hear from our students about what they have got up to on their degree, what facilities are available and what being an Edge Hill student is really like.
