Application Process

Application fee

An application fee of £400/US$520 is payable with your application to enrol. This fee must be paid before your application to enrol commences processing. For convenience, the online Informa Connect registration form includes the ability to pay this fee securely by credit card in GBP, USD or EUR. On acceptance to the course, this application fee is deducted from the full course fee.

Note: The application fee will be refunded if your application for enrolment is rejected by Liverpool John Moores University on academic grounds. It is not refundable if your application is rejected due to incomplete information being provided, if you withdraw your application before all documents have been submitted or before acceptance.

Payment by instalments

There is an interest free instalment plan available. You may pay in 2 instalments for the Postgraduate Certificate, 4 for the Postgraduate Diploma and 5 for the Masters. More information is available by requesting the payment information sheet at LEteam@informaconnect.com.

All fees are payable to Informa Connect Ltd as the course partner to Liverpool John Moores University.

We consider applications on their individual merits and circumstances. However, as a guide, the elements we consider when assessing the suitability of an applicant are:

A relevant second class honours degree or above (such as in criminology, social or political science), or an overseas equivalent qualification is normally required.
Alternatively a graduate level professional qualification of comparable standard and suitable work experience (such as policing, security or military work) may be accepted.
Proficiency in English – where English is a second language you will be required to demonstrate a minimum IELTS score of 6.5 or a TOEFL score of 575.
In some cases applicants who do not possess the standard entry requirements may be permitted to enrol at the discretion of the programme leader.
