Criminal and Corporate Investigation BA Welcome Pack
Welcome to BA Criminal and Corporate Investigation 2025.
A warm welcome to you from the Criminal and Corporate Investigation Team!
Our Criminal and Corporate Investigation course has been designed and developed with input from leading investigation, intelligence, security, and financial specialists. Through studying your criminal investigation course, you will develop the necessary industry standard skills and experience to carry out professional investigations to the highest level within commercial, public, or criminal justice settings.
Our friendly team draws on a range of professional backgrounds and extensive experience in the policing and criminal justice field, and we want to share those with you and support you in your personal and academic development and in your professional practice in the future.
Many of our students have entered the commercial, public, or criminal justice field over the past few years – for example, working with a local Global Security Operations Centre; working within the retail crime sector; working as intelligence analysts; working as investigators for the NCA, or successfully applying to become a detective in the police.
In the meantime, if you have any questions or queries feel free to contact us – we are looking forward to meeting you in September!

Throughout your studies you will have the chance to engage with our partners in local corporate organisations and policing who will provide delivery on your modules, but also you will have the opportunity to showcase some of the skills you have learnt in hackathons and present to leaders in the security sector, and visit security operations centres to learn about the roles you may go into after you graduate.
