Third Year of Study: B3
In the third year at the Norwegian Police University College, you build on the experiences from your practical training. You gain new theoretical and practical knowledge and spend three weeks in a camp to practice various situations you may encounter as a police officer. An important part of the year is writing a bachelor's thesis, where you can delve into a topic that interests you. Through this work, you develop research skills, analytical abilities, and the ability to communicate complex issues clearly and structured.
