For 'Basic Bobby' it reads more like a three year trade apprenticeship:

    You can choose to undertake a three-year Level 6 degree apprenticeship, which involves both on and off-the-job training. As with other apprenticeships, you'll earn while you learn and upon successful completion of the programme, you'll have finished your probation as a police constable and will have achieved the BSc Professional Policing Practice.

Undergrad degrees don't have on the job training + probationary.

Looks appopriate though.

Basic Constable here is two years - six month coursework, 18 month probie.

I’m not disagreeing, but note that what you’ve quoted does in fact confer an accredited undergrad degree

Sure .. but typically for centuries in commonwealth countries undergrad university degrees don't include paid on the job training.

Sure, medical degrees include time in hospitals after the basics are completed, etc .. all that aside this really does read like a (good) trade apprenticeship program - time split between course work and supervised practice, which I agree with.

But a Bachelor of Science equivilent undergrad degree?

Apparently technically yes .. but that does seem a stretch.
