The South Wales Police PPD (Professional Policing Degree) Bursary offers a maximum of £4,000 to cover pre-application, study through years 1-3 on a Professional Policing Degree at one of the named Universities within the Terms of Reference and then application to South Wales Police.
South Wales Police serves a local population of 1.3 million people, 6.7% of whom are from Black, Asian or Minority Ethnic backgrounds. However just 3.5% of our police officers are from ethnic minority backgrounds and across the force this representation is 2.9%. We are working to address this under-representation so that we can better serve our diverse communities.
To address this under representation, South Wales Police is working with local Welsh universities who deliver the Professional Policing Degree and will fund a bursary scheme to ethnic minority students on the PPD course as part of a positive action initiative. Learn more about how we are working to achieve a Representative Workforce.
For any student to be accepted on to the South Wales Police PPD Bursary Scheme, they must:
