Public Service - FdA

Developed in collaboration with leading employers, this is the ideal course if you’re preparing for a public services role, or already work in the sector and want to take your career to the next level.

On this course you’ll develop the skills and knowledge that public services such as the police, Prison Service, fire and ambulance services, HM Revenue & Customs and the armed forces want in their employees.

We’ve designed it primarily for uniformed public service workers, although anyone working with the public would benefit from taking this exciting and challenging course.

You’ll learn about public services directly through work-based learning and in the classroom, from lecturers and guest speakers who’ve direct experience of working in the sector.

There are specialist modules in subjects such as leadership, interpersonal and presentation skills, disaster planning, workplace cultures, ethical practice, financing public services, politics and public service, deviance, forensic science, equality, and cultural diversity.

All of which will give you the knowledge, skills and understanding you need to provide vital services and lead them into the future.

It’s worth pointing out that private sector employers value this course, as you’ll graduate with many of the qualities they look for in their future leaders. There’s also the opportunity to continue your academic studies by progressing onto the BA (Hons) Public Service.
