Ruby Crick
BA (Hons) Professional Policing
Why did you choose this course and why Lincoln College University Centre?
The course was local to my home area and it was unlike anything else that was offered in the UK.
I understand other courses offer this at university but to have its own policing college was unique. I also knew I would benefit from the college learning environment, smaller classes and less timetable due to my learning style.
What did you enjoy most about your course?
I enjoyed being in a small class as we all got on really well and the teachers were fantastic at supporting us through.
What advice would you give to someone else looking at studying the same course?
Enjoy it and don’t take the less days in for granted as it allows you to manage your time better. And I would recommend living in Lincoln if you have the opportunity to as it enhances the university experience.
Do you have any further comments about the course or Lincoln College University Centre?
I would recommend the course if people are a little reluctant to go to university as the learning environment and style makes it a lot less daunting.

The last three years have been a really enjoyable experience for me (minus the covid circumstances within the first year!)
I couldn’t have wanted more personable tutors to help me achieve my long term goals of joining Lincolnshire Police.
I just want to say thank you for the amazing support that I was given by each of tutors. Don’t give up on your dreams, you will achieve them!!
