Discover – What can I do with my degree?

You may want to begin by researching a career directly related to your degree by working for organisations such as a Police Force, the Civic Nuclear Constabulary, the Border Force or the British Transport Police. However, many policing students consider other career paths such as roles linked to the criminal justice sector, rehabilitation of offenders, youth and community work, the legal sector or teaching. Remember, you can also explore careers that don’t directly relate to your degree. Did you know that over 80% of graduate employers will recruit from any degree discipline?

Develop – Developing skills and experience

If you already have some career ideas, the next step will be to develop your skills and gain some experience to build your confidence and increase your knowledge. You may want to consider volunteering, part-time work or undertaking a placement to increase your chances of gaining graduate employment after completing your degree. It’s also a great way to try-out career paths to see what you enjoy and if it’s a good fit for you.
