Course Information

This unique course offers a full 12-month placement working alongside an MP or peer in Westminster. You’ll gain an in-depth understanding of British parliamentary procedures and protocols in this intellectually demanding programme. 

Studying at Hull opens doors to those considering a career in Parliament. Our graduates are well known throughout the major UK political parties.

In fact, so many of them now work in Westminster that they’ve become affectionately known as ‘the Hull Mafia’.

The course consists of 120 credits per year. Most modules are 20 credits, meaning you’ll study six modules each year. Some longer modules, such as a dissertation, are worth more (e.g. 40 credits). In these cases, you’ll study fewer modules - but the number of credits will always add up to 120.
