About us

All three-year bachelor programmes are “dual-track” programmes divided up into stages that cover theory and practice and dovetail with each other.  Hands-on training ensures that recruits can be assigned to their first job immediately after graduating.
HSPV NRW's administrative head office is located in Gelsenkirchen in the heart of the “Ruhrgebiet” urban area. The college has de-centralised premises in Aachen, Cologne, Duisburg, Gelsenkirchen, Dortmund, Hagen, Herne, Bielefeld and Muenster.  
HSPV NRW offers six degree courses in two faculties:
 

Police (B.A.)

Roughly 60 % of the students are trained to be future policemen and –women in North Rhine-Westphalia.
 

General Public Administration (LL.B., B.A., MPM)

The student's  future employment is situated in local communities (like the urban administration of the city of Cologne) or the regional government of North Rhine-Westphalia.
