The course was devised in association with a variety of public, private and voluntary sectors, for example Police, Armed Forces, Local Government, Probation, Youth Offend Teams and the Civil Service. You will study a broad spectrum of issues relating to a variety of public and private services, and other sectors. Students are encouraged to arrange visits to the public and private services and invite guest speakers to present and share their views on their sectors. This course is designed to be broad.
