About The School
From human acts related to international terrorism, drug trafficking, and cyber-crime, to natural disasters such as tsunamis, bushfires, and floods, policing and emergency management professionals are confronted with a growing number of significant challenges. To meet such challenges, the police and emergency services require professionals with the intellectual capacity, knowledge and skills necessary to manage people and issues in a fast changing world.
The mission of the Australian Graduate School of Policing (AGSP) is to deliver high quality, professional courses designed to provide members of the policing and emergency management services with the latest developments and practice in their professional field.
Launched in 1993, the AGSP has developed a reputation as Australia’s leading provider of postgraduate courses for individuals in policing and emergency management who are seeking to further enhance their knowledge and leadership skills in order to make an impact in the job, and further their career ambitions. Our courses attract people from all over Australia and we have also offered programs overseas, including Abu Dhabi, China, India, Indonesia, Singapore and the United Kingdom.
The philosophy of the AGSP is that busy professionals should have access to high quality courses, and that courses should fit in with your work and lifestyle commitments. Our courses are designed and taught by staff that are leading experts in their field, and have a wealth of practical experience in policing and emergency management on which to draw from.
To ensure that our courses remain relevant to modern policing and emergency professionals, the AGSP has a Board of Studies, which includes senior officers from Australian Policing jurisdictions. The Board of Studies approves the courses and subjects offered by the AGSP before they are accredited by Charles Sturt University.
We are proud of the quality of our courses, the high calibre staff that teach at the AGSP, the excellent study materials and support we provide for our students. I congratulate you on your decision to consider studying with the AGSP and wish you every success with your career.
