Policing Student Folio

Our course pages show how you'll be getting stuck into hands-on activities throughout your Policing course, but we also thought we'd share the kinds of assessments and knowledge you will gain in the classroom. Our student portfolios show you past student work, and offer a glimpse of how you'll put practice into theory at our university.
We pride ourselves on providing a platform for you to pursue your own interests through your degree, so you can research and become an expert in areas of your subject that interest you.
These are just some of the topics our recent students have looked into. We hope they inspire you to get you thinking about what you could be doing here at Chester in the future!
