This programme will be delivered in partnership with four London universities (Brunel University London; the University of West London; Anglia Ruskin University; and the University of East London).Degree Holder Entry Programme (DHEP) Degree holders (or students within the final year of study for a degree) can apply to our Degree Holder Entry Programme (DHEP). This two-year programme will provide degree holders (in any subject area) with the opportunity to learn as they earn and gain a fully-funded Graduate Diploma in Professional Policing Practice on successful completion, while embarking on an interesting and rewarding career with the Met. Unlike more traditional qualifications, the DHEP entry route is a vocational programme that focuses on practical learning and is specifically tailored for a career in policing. You’ll learn how policing works in theory, so that when you encounter practical situations in real life, you’ll be prepared and know what to do.

Whilst this training programme won’t provide an accredited qualification– like our Police Constable Degree Apprenticeship Programme (PCDA) does - it follows a similar structure to all our training routes. Whichever route you choose to join us, you’ll receive the best possible training to be the best that you can be to keep London safe.
