About the Academy for Police Work At the academy, the Police Program is conducted at the University of Borås. The Police Program is a commissioned education provided on behalf of the National Police Authority and leads to a university degree of 120 credits in police work. The academy also offers a bachelor's program in police work with a focus on criminal investigation. The academy also offers standalone courses in criminology. The Police Program is the University of Borås' largest commissioned education and is of major strategic importance for the university and for the collective national police education. The academy is organized into two departments: the Department of Police Education and the Department of Police Work. Education is conducted on the university's campus and in police education's state-of-the-art training environments at Sagagatan and Guttasjön. The academy is a young organization defined by strong development and extensive growth. The academy has just over 760 students and approximately 100 employees. When fully developed in spring 2028, the number of students at the academy in the Police Program alone will be approximately 960. Staff consists of academic teachers, police instructors who are employed by the National Police Authority but placed at the academy, as well as technical and administrative personnel. The Police Program integrates theory and advanced skills training. This means that teachers with police expertise as well as teachers with academic expertise collaborate in all parts of instruction. Police exercises, skills training, and field studies alternate with teaching based on scientific grounds. The Police Program is largely problem-based and integrates different areas of knowledge. One of the fundamental ideas is that knowledge should be deepened through reflection, analysis, and independent examination. Within police work, subject content, theories, methods, and work procedures that form the basis for police work are studied. The main subject Police Work is based on an academic, multidisciplinary foundation and exists at the intersection of social sciences, behavioral sciences, medicine, technology, and humanities. Law, criminology, psychology, and political science are particularly important components. The main subject Police Work includes police professional competence, which is grounded in proven experience and increasingly in scientific studies. https://www.hb.se/om-hogskolan/jobba-hos-oss/lar-kanna-oss/jobba-hos-oss-pa-akademin-for-polisiart-arbete/ Your Responsibilities Work as a university lecturer at the Academy for Police Work consists of teaching, research, course development, and supervision of degree projects within the academy's various education programs.
