Australian Federal Police (AFP) members will be able to gain credit from their AFP College studies towards courses at Charles Sturt University (CSU) under an agreement to be signed today, Wednesday 21 November in Canberra.
AFP Learning and Development Manager Will Jamieson said the memorandum of agreement between CSU and AFP would create a qualifications pathway for AFP members.
“Members at various stages of their AFP careers will have access to more learning opportunities at institutes of higher learning such as CSU,” Commander Jamieson said.
“This agreement will enhance the existing partnership between the AFP College and CSU, and build on the options available through the college.
“The framework will also support the AFP’s commitment to developing future leaders.”
CSU Associate Dean of the Faculty of Arts, Professor Tracey Green said the agreement would provide attractive credit packages for courses undertaken at the police college.
Senior officers with five years or more of policing service in the AFP will also be granted credit towards undergraduate programs such as CSU’s Bachelor of Policing (Investigations) degree.
“Courses such as this are designed to enhance investigation capabilities by building on existing skills and knowledge through university studies,” Professor Green said.
Members will also have access to postgraduate study at CSU in investigations, intelligence, terrorism, leadership and other areas.
