SA Policing Degree
| Study Policing at UniSA |
UniSA’s Bachelor of Management (Policing) program provides a professional level of management education for South Australian Police Officers.
The Bachelor of Management (Policing) is designed to enable graduates to acquire skills and knowledge that will assist them to work and develop as productive and socially responsible Police Officers in a local and global context.
The program
The Bachelor of Management (Policing) consists of nine core courses and three electives. The program can be completed in 1.5 years full-time equivalent. The Bachelor of Management (Policing) is a voluntary degree, with broad opportunities to recognise previous study and experience Police Officers have acquired throughout their career.
Courses covered within the degree include but are not limited to: Management principles, criminology, restorative justice, ethics, law of administrative procedures, organisational behaviour and managing decision making.
Students may be able to apply for a second undergraduate degree when nearing completion of the Bachelor of Management (Policing). A second degree may be completed in as little as one year of extra study. Students should discuss this option with the Undergraduate Student Advisor, as not all business degrees can be linked with the Bachelor of Management (Policing). Alternatively, students may choose to continue with postgraduate study to further advance their knowledge in management.
