The Public Services and Criminology programme at UCS is designed to give students the opportunity to learn about the different careers in the protective services and exploring topics of crime.
This course is ideal for individuals who want to pursue a career where they can make a difference and contribute to society.
Based at our Taunton campus, Public Services and Criminology students will engage in content to help them understand how society operates, criminal behaviour, and the role of public services.
After the course, students can progress to a top-up year for a full honours degree or step into rewarding careers in the public services sector.
