A frequently asked question

Q: I am considering a career change. As I am not a recent graduate can I apply?

Yes, we welcome applications from final-year students, graduates, and career changers. You will need to have achieved a 2:2 or above in an undergraduate degree in any subject.

We would encourage you to think about the skills you have developed working in other industries and sectors, as these skills are transferable to policing. Such as emotional awareness, resilience, and collaboration.

During the two-year programme we offer support from a Performance Development Coach, who can help you to navigate a change in career.
