The University of Portsmouth and Thames Valley Police (TVP) have formed a new partnership aimed directly at students pursuing a Professional Policing Degree (PPD).
The university joins 48 other English and
Welsh universities that also offer a PPD. The new initiative at Portsmouth goes beyond traditional classroom learning. Students will be immersed in the world of policing through talks, visits, and hands- on experiences with TVP. Foundation trainers from TVP will work closely with university staff to ensure students receive the most current and relevant knowledge. This practical approach is designed to shape well-prepared candidates ready to join the police force.
