I think with the police there are no opportunities to enter at a higher level. You can get put on a graduate fast track scheme to get experience and promotion quicker but you have to begin as a constable. Im sure I read that if you are on the grad scheme you only have to do one year as a constable though...most other people have to do 2 years.

I guess it's mainly forensics?

Surely you'd think there would be some jobs in the police that a criminology degree is useful for ..
The MI5 thinks so.

To realistically do anything at a higher level, you would need either forensic science qualifications (Masters/Phd)
or management qualifications (MBA ) and a track record.

Criminal justice and criminology are near enough the same thing. Usual careers are police, probation, prison service, social worker, teacher, general graduate schemes, youth work, train to become a lawyer, CPS, business schemes etc. The list is endless really.

Business, Law (conversion course), civil service are some examples.

Also, can you take the course at almost any university which offers law as a subject? or are there only specific universities which offer conversion courses for law :/ e.g. if i took crim at durham, could i do a coversion course there aswell

Was never really interested in the police except for SOCA. Closest thing we have to the CIA I guess.

I'm interested in pursuing a career in criminology. I don't want to become a police officer, but instead become a professor and teach at a university. Would I need a B.A, M.A and Phd?

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed doing my degree, but in a sense I feel like I have wasted 3yrs, and rung up unnecessary debts!!!!
