I never wanted to stop the process of becoming a police officer and USW was really supportive in my whole 3 years.


Choosing to study Policing at USW 

Choosing to go to university with childcare responsibilities, Saffron needed a local, supportive institution that would allow her to progress toward her career without compromising family life, and USW was the perfect fit. 

The location and support made the balance between studies and family life easy.

Preparing for life as a police officer

During her 26-week training with South Wales Police, Saffron felt prepared. With the academic work behind her, she can fully concentrate on mastering the role of a frontline officer. 

Saffron’s experience shows how USW’s Professional Policing degree empowers students from all walks of life to pursue their ambitions — with the flexibility and support they need to succeed in both life and law enforcement.
