The Hansard Scholars Programme offers an outstanding opportunity for international students to gain academic and practical knowledge of the British political system and current debates in UK public policy. All Hansard Scholars take two lecture courses in addition to pursuing an individual research dissertation, and will receive university credit. Along with this, Hansard Scholars take internships at the heart of the British political system. As a Hansard Scholar you may work for a Member of Parliament in the House of Commons or a Peer in the House of Lords, writing speeches, carrying out research, and attending parliamentary meetings; you may work in the parliamentary clerks’ office – with unprecedented access to the behind-the-scenes workings of Parliament; or for the BBC, researching articles and analyzing the work of the Government; or for a campaign group, helping to devise and run media campaigns on key social and political issues. You may work in the national headquarters of a political party or for one of the other many organizations and businesses which drive forward the policy agenda in the UK and beyond. The application process is highly competitive, and should be reviewed carefully prior to applying. Go to the website for details.
